Wild Horse Mesa Synopsis
Chane Weymer (Randolph Scott), an Arizona rancher goes after a gang that is trapping and catching wild horses by the use of barbed-wire enclosures. He suspects Ward (Fred Kohler), of being the gang leader but is unable to find the needed proof. Ward also has an eye on the lovely Sandy Melbarne (Sally Blane).
Blackmail Synopsis
Confidence artist Flossie Golden attempts to fleece foolish but wealthy James Venable with a breach-of-promise suit. Venable's shrewd attorney, Richard Harding, outwits Flossie by proposing that she marry Venable and live on an allowance of $3,000 per year. Flossie is determined to get even with Harding for ruining her plans. In an attempt to con him, she poses as Innocence Page, but falls in love and marries him instead. Larry, Flossie's former accomplice, endeavors to blackmail her with her errant past, but Harding is already cognizant of the facts and Larry fails.
"Wild Horse Mesa" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
