Young Bride

Allie Smith, a New York City assistant librarian under her long-time friend Miss Margaret Gordon, has always placed a guard around herself, living a sheltered life. However, with her mother's recent death, Allie starts to feel a void in her life and yearns to explore those things of the world about which she has only read. So when she agrees to be the fourth in a set-up double date, she eventually falls under the spell of her date, Charlie Riggs, who tells her of his world travel to exotic locales. He also talks about his current business deal to open a movie studio. Allie eventually falls in love with Charlie, who asks her to marry him. It isn't until a specific incident on their Atlantic City honeymoon that Allie learns that all of Charlie's stories are just talk; he's a shyster whose outlandish business schemes would only appeal to other shysters who are in turn trying to bilk him. She also learns that he has an outstanding job offer to work as a brokerage-firm runner for $30 a week--a decent, honest job which he refuses to take while he waits for that big strike. By this time, Allie, without telling him that she knows about his lies, hopes that wanting to make their marriage work will make him change. A change of situation in their personal life and some external forces may be added impetus, but a taxi dancer named Maisie who had tried to get her hooks into Charlie before he and Allie got married, may be an obstacle to that change.

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.
