Mollie Owens, affianced to Dick Calvert, deputy sheriff, is taken captive by Monk Turgis, an outlaw, and imprisoned in "death cabin." Turgis and his pal try to frighten money out of Mollie's mother. Dick Calvert is put on the trail of the bandits. He happens to see one of them going into the cabin, shunned by everybody on account of two mysterious murders once perpetrated in the shack, and immediately investigates. He is seized by the outlaws, who truss him up. While they are forcing Mollie to write another threatening note to her mother, Calvert manages to slip a scrawled line into the pocket of one of the bandits, who later drops it in the town gambling room. The clue is taken to the Sheriff, who rides post haste to "death cabin," captures the outlaws and rescues the lovers.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
