Paid	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Paid is a 1930 film directed by Sam Wood, starring Joan Crawford.The film opens with Mary Turner (Crawford), a shop girl, unjustly accused of theft. The prosecutor, Demarest, pushes for the maximum, and the store owner, Edward Gilder, refuses her pleas for mercy. Mary is convicted and sent to jail for three years.Three years expire and a hardened, cynical Mary is released. Her prison friend Polly, now working as a prostitute, refers her to gangster Joe Garson. Joe has interest in making Mary his moll, but Mary has other ideas. Specifically, she has an idea for a scam. Mary's idea is to get good-looking young women to tempt rich older men into ill-considered marriage proposals. Afterwards, facing a breach of promise suit, the men pay off. This gray blackmail scheme works well enough, but Mary has bigger ideas for revenge—ideas that involve Edward Gilder's handsome young son Bob.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Paid / int_caa05cf	type	Breach of Promise of Marriage
Paid / int_caa05cf	comment	Breach of Promise of Marriage: Mary's whole scam. Attractive ladies extract written letters with promises of marriage from rich older men. The young ladies then sue for breach of promise. To avoid embarrassment, the rich older men pay the women off. So it isn't technically blackmail.

Paid / int_feac0f90	type	Ephebophile
Paid / int_feac0f90	comment	Ephebophile: Subtly implied with "The General", a rich older man who falls victim to Mary's breach-of-promise scheme. In the scene where The General is being forced to pay off, his lover Aggie—Mary's friend and partner—is dressed in a sailor suit, a child's outfit. She is talking in a babygirl voice. And it's revealed that The General signed his incriminating letter to her as "The Big Brown Bear". (Yes, this is a film from The Pre-Code Era.)
