Thunder Mountain

Thunder Mountain is the home of illiterate folk where only the moneylender, Si Pace, has "book larnin'," and there is a long-standing feud between the Martins and Givenses. Sam Martin is persuaded by the preacher to leave and acquire an education. He returns after 3 years determined to build a schoolhouse, but Pace refuses to lend him the money. Azalea, a circus performer, flees from the show and its owner, Morgan. Sam befriends her against the wishes of his people. She dances for Pace in tights and spangles in a vain attempt to raise the funds. Discovered and doubted by Sam, she determines to elope with Joe Givens. Just before they elope, Givens robs and murders Pace, and the townspeople fix the blame on Sam. They proceed to the mountain to hang Sam when the preacher, as a sign of God's wrath, ignites a charge of dynamite he planted in the mountain. Givens, in his fear, confesses to the crime; Sam builds his school and marries Azalea.

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.
