What happens

The Mollycoddle is a 1920 American silent adventure film starring Douglas Fairbanks and Wallace Beery, and directed by Victor Fleming. Beery plays an ice-cold villain brawling with Fairbanks' character all the way down the side of a steep mountain in one sequence. A copy of the film is in the Museum of Modern Art and in other film collections. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
