- DirectorJames TinlingStarsJames DunnJoan BennettHerbert MundinIn the small town of Larrup, Arizona, con artist Smiley is traveling with cohorts Kingfish, Morris, and Ambrose, and he persuades Lynn Martin, a traveling demonstrator of pancake making, to accompany him to a carnival where Kingfish sells a large number of bottles of Bambo, an elixir. When a woman denounces Kingfish as a faker, Smiley, identifying himself as a medical inspector, conducts Kingfish safely through the angry crowd and grabs Lynn's purse on the way out. Later, on a train, Smiley meets Lynn again, and after he returns the purse, she explains that she is traveling to find the trail of three swindlers who talked her brother, a bank officer, into investing $20,000 belonging to an estate he was handling, and then left with the money. Two of the crooks, a couple named Sandburg, are in New Orleans, while the other, Hubert Wayne, is promoting a new show in New York. Smiley offers to help after privately convincing his cohorts that once they "cheat the cheaters," they will keep the money themselves. In a New Orleans hotel, Kingfish, masquerading as a philandering Texas oilman, attracts the interest of the Sandburgs, who plan to trap him in a compromising position and then blackmail him. After a fight, however, Kingfish, Smiley and the others get away with the Sandburgs' half of the swindle, $10,000, and proceed to New York where Lynn, posing as a chorus girl, has provoked Wayne's advances. When she introduces Wayne to Kingfish, who this time masquerades as a British jam manufacturer, Wayne, planning to swindle Kingfish, persuades him to invest $10,000 in the show to match his own $10,000, which gangster Tommy Monk fronts for the swindle. Wayne then plans to appropriate Kingfish's money through a switch of envelopes. Suspecting the ruse, Smiley trains Kingfish to do his own envelope switch. Kingfish's switch works, but after Smiley leaves with the $20,000, Wayne and Tommy discover the trick and capture Lynn and Kingfish, who reveals, to Lynn's dismay, Smiley's plan to keep the money. Tommy takes over the show to make back his money and coerces stage stars Ned Flynn, Jimmy Dante and female impersonator Ray Best to perform. On opening night, Smiley is captured at the theater, but he is able to call Tommy's rival, Rags Rigby. By imitating Tommy's voice, Smiley dares Rigby to come to the show. Rigby and his men respond to the challenge and start a massive fight in the theater. Smiley rescues Lynn and later, on another train, after he learns that Lynn did not trust him, upbraids her and reveals that he sent the money to her brother. The other three cohorts then decide to go straight. After planting her purse in Smiley's pocket, Lynn playfully accuses him of robbing her and they embrace.

- DirectorRoy William NeillStarsMae ClarkeAlan DinehartNeil HamiltonMillionaire John Duncan is dying from an illness which cannot be cured. He plans to divide his fortune between his cousin, lawyer Robert Waldo, who has taken him in during his sickness, and Dr. David Graham. David considers Duncan his mentor, although, unknown to him, Duncan is actually his father. Waldo convinces Duncan to leave all his estate to David in a plot to get the money along with Duncan's nurse, Jane Chase, who loves David. Waldo, who has a smiling face and apparently benevolent personality, has a hateful, treacherous soul. He plans to frame David by giving him a motive for a murder that Waldo will commit. Now a hopeless invalid, John asks David to end his suffering, but David refuses to give him the necessary medication, so Waldo decides to help John die to suit his own purposes. At Christmas, Waldo invites David to a party for orphans, asking him to play Santa Claus. Instead, David sends Wilfred Morgan, an idle tramp, who becomes drunk and disappears. Left alone with Duncan, Waldo gives him an overdose of the drug David had prescribed, believing he is committing the "perfect crime." However, Morgan recovers sufficiently to see what is happening. When David is arrested and tried for murdering John, Waldo offers to defend him, but presents a very poor defense, hoping that the jury will convict David and sentence him to die. David instead receives a life sentence, and while Waldo is awarded John's estate due to David's disqualification, the land is unobtainable while David is still alive. Waldo secures David's release by forging a suicide note left by John, then decides to kill the young man himself. Waldo must first deal with Morgan, however, for the tramp has used his knowledge of the murder to blackmail him. Waldo runs Morgan over with his car, but the injured man reaches Jane and tells her of Waldo's schemes before he dies. Meanwhile, Waldo has enticed David into his cellar, where he intends to asphyxiate him by surrounding him with candles that will use up all of the oxygen. Jane rushes to Waldo's house and shoots him when he fails to reveal where David is. The police arrive in time to save David, and Waldo dies realizing that people cannot be manipulated like pawns in a chess game.
