What happens

A Bachelor's Wife is a 1919 American silent drama film directed by Emmett J. Flynn and starring Mary Miles Minter. As with many of Minter's films, the film is thought to be a lost film. In the weeks before its release, some film magazines listed the feature under its working title “Mary O’Rourke.” (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
