What Love Can Do

Widower Calvert Paige leaves his baby daughter Johnnie in New York and goes West, where he becomes wealthy as a mine owner and newspaperman. Lil Magill, who came to work on his newspaper, is lovestruck with Paige, as he is with her, and they become lovers. After several years Lil has become a successful author but Paige has tired of her. Their friction grows when Lil takes the side of striking miners against him. Because Johnnie has asked to be with her father, Paige now decides to break his relationship with Lil. He writes both women letters, but accidentally switches them. The result is that Johnnie sees something of what her father is like and resolves to go to him. Paige fires Lil because of her closeness with the miners and his growing resentment of her. When miners threaten violence, Johnnie, who has come to know Lil, begs her to intercede. When Paige sees this, he becomes enraged, but the scene is interrupted by a angry miner who shoots at Paige. Lil throws herself in front of her lover, saving his life, and when Lil recovers, Paige realizes that he still loves her.

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.
