What happens

The Pointing Finger, also known as No Experience Required is a 1919 American silent drama film, directed by Edward A. Kull and Edward Morrissey. Morrissey began directing the project, but was replaced by Kull in late August or early September 1919. It stars Mary MacLaren, David Butler, and Johnnie Cook, and was released on December 1, 1919. There are no known archival holdings of the film, so it is presumably a lost film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
