Peacock Feathers

A luxury-loving daughter of an impoverished upper class family, Mimi Le Brun, falls in love with Jerry Chandler, a poor Yale man with the ambition to be a writer. Jerry proposes, but Mimi turns him down in favor of Andy Fuller, an oil millionaire. When Jerry inherits a ranch from his uncle, he and Mimi decide to be married, anticipating that Jerry's windfall will make them rich. Arriving at his ranch on their honeymoon, they discover, to their shock and disappointment, that the place is neither comfortable nor profitable. Despite her feelings, Mimi stays on, and she and Jerry try to make a go of it. As their first Christmas together approaches, Jerry goes into the hills for a tree. While he is gone, Andy shows up and persuades Mimi to go away with him. As she is leaving, she sees a signal fire on the mountain and, realizing that Jerry is in trouble, rounds up a rescue party. She saves Jerry's life and, overcome with the sudden intensity of her love for him, gladly nurses his hurt leg back to health, anticipating a long and happy life together.

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.
