What happens

His Only Son is a 1912 American short silent Western film co-starring Wallace Reid and Dorothy Davenport. Davenport recalled not liking to work with Reid, whom she considered young and inexperienced in film, "When I came home I complained to mother because I had to play with 'this boy' when I had been playing with actors as Harold Lockwood, Henry Walthall, James Kirkwood". The two soon began dating, and married in 1913. It was directed by Jack Conway and Milton H. Fahrney, and it was Hoot Gibson's first feature. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
