Dora

Farmer Allan quarrels with his brother, then on his brother's death he takes his orphaned daughter Dora into his home. He plans a match between her and his own son William, but she falls in love with Luke Blomfield, a neighbor, and William is secretly betrothed to Mary Morrison, a servant in his father's household. Farmer Allan's announcement of his plan is William's justification for eloping with Mary. They confess their secret to Dora, and shortly afterward are forced to reveal it to Farmer Allan, who at once disinherits William and orders him from the house, despite Dora's pleadings. When she implores him to help them, he threatens to treat her in the same fashion if she ever mentions their names to him again. Secretly Dora places baskets of food outside the door of William's cottage, for her cousin is ill and in want. Mary believes it is Luke who aids them, for she is bitter against Dora, thinking it is she who keeps William and his father apart. Luke, too, is wroth with Dora, for she refuses his suit. Farmer Allan makes a will leaving all his property to her, despite her protests. Just before William dies Mary discovers that Dora is her benefactress. Dora breaks the long silence and is disowned by Farmer Allan. Going to live with Mary, she schemes to bring William's child to the old man's attention, and through the child the man of stone is softened.

Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story

1 hr 25 mins
While he's out fishing with his Mennonite friend Jeremiah Peters on the morning of 2 June, Amish Eli Weaver receives a message via a call to Jeremiah's cell phone that Eli's wife, 29-year-old Barbara Weaver, has been found shot dead in their bed. While the Amish elders want to deal with the issue solely within their community, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department is forced to investigate in the murder having taken place in their jurisdiction, the two investigators being Detectives Bruce London and Mike Maxwell. What is subsequently shown is the current investigation interspersed with flashbacks of Eli and Barbara's life, which Eli admits to the investigators was not always perfect. Those flashbacks show that prior to their marriage, Barbara wanted to marry for romantic love, which is not the Amish way. Eli seemingly wanted the same; he was the black sheep of his family in not always adhering to Amish strictures. London and Maxwell have their theories of who the murderer is; they suspect Eli, who isn't reacting like a typical grieving husband and father, but they know they'll have problems finding evidence because the Amish Eli will have no digital footprint; and the community's sole telephone is a public one for emergencies, usable by anyone. They hope that the unofficial traditional Amish communication network, rampant gossip, will provide some clues. They find that some talk emerges in the form of a collection of women not in the community who were a part of Eli's secret life as the Amish Stud.
