What happens

Synthetic Sin is a 1929 American Synchronized sound comedy film directed by William A. Seiter, based on a play of the same name. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. It was released by Warner Bros. Pictures and was recorded using the Vitaphone sound system. Only the soundtrack disc for the last reel is known to survive. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
