What happens

The Flying Fleet is a 1929 synchronized sound romantic drama film directed by George W. Hill and starring Ramon Novarro, Ralph Graves, and Anita Page. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects (e.g., engine noises, trumpet sounds) using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. Two United States Navy officers are rivals for the love of the same woman. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
