What happens

Kiki is a 1926 American silent romantic comedy film directed by Clarence Brown and starring Norma Talmadge and Ronald Colman. The film is based upon a 1918 play of the same name by André Picard, which was later adapted by David Belasco and performed on Broadway to great success in 1921 by his muse Lenore Ulric. The film was restored from the only three "rather incomplete" surviving copies, one each in English, French, and Czech. As noted in the prologue to the restored film, the English and French story lines differ. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
