Whoa, Emma! Synopsis
A ranch owner attempts to bring about the capture of a wild horse named "Wild Emma," whose vamping qualities are creating havoc among the ranch horses. In response to a letter requesting help from a correspondence school, Jimmie arrives on the scene with his valet and on making "Emma's" acquaintance, they immediately become fast friends, much to the consternation of the ranch employees.
Lawless Love Synopsis
Vaudeville artist LaBelle Geraldine and her dancing partner Freddie Montgomery are stranded in Arizona when their troupe breaks up. In order to raise money, Geraldine orders Freddie to impersonate masked bandit Black Jim so that she may turn him in and collect the $2,000 reward. When the real Black Jim holds up her coach, Geraldine, believing that he is Freddie, boldly pulls out her gun, and the bandit shoots her in the wrist and takes her to his cabin. Later Freddie is captured too, but when members of the gang insult Geraldine, he refuses to protect her. Gradually Black Jim falls in love with her, and she comes to admire him so deeply that instead of seizing a chance to escape one night, she returns to warn him of the gang's plot to kill him. Together they hold the gang off until their cabin is set on fire. Dashing through the flames, they leap onto their horses and escape to safety.
"Whoa, Emma!" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Lawless Love" offers its own unique cult appeal.
