What happens

Toni is a 1928 British thriller film directed by Arthur Maude and starring Jack Buchanan, Dorothy Boyd and Forrester Harvey. It was made at Elstree Studios by British International Pictures. The complete index to literary sources in film indicates it is based on the 1924 musical play of the same name by Douglas Furber but various sources state the original play was by Dion Titheradge and credit Furber and Violet E. Powell for the screenplay. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
