What happens
A Fool There Was is a 1914 American silent comedy film produced by the Lubin Manufacturing Company and starring Jerold T. Hevener, Frank Griffin, and Mabel Paige, with Oliver Hardy in a small role. The title was changed to She Wanted a Car as a result of a lawsuit filed by the owners of the 1909 stage play A Fool There Was by Porter Emerson Browne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
