What happens

The Dancin' Fool is a surviving 1920 American silent romantic comedy film produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Sam Wood directed this one of his earliest efforts. Wallace Reid and Bebe Daniels star, at the time Paramount was making them a popular team in replacement of Reid's previous female lead Ann Little. A copy of this film survives in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
