What happens

Ex-Flame is a 1930 American pre-Code drama film directed by Victor Halperin and starring Neil Hamilton, Marian Nixon, and Norman Kerry. The film is an adaptation of the 1861 Victorian novel East Lynne, but is set in contemporary England. This was the first production of the Poverty Row company Liberty Pictures. The following year, a more celebrated film version of the novel was released by Fox Film. Some sources state this is a lost film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
