What happens

A Lodging for the Night is a 1912 American silent drama short film directed by D. W. Griffith and stars Mary Pickford and Charles West. The film is also referred to as Lodging for the Night. The plot was perhaps very vaguely inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's story of the same name and is set in the Old South. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
