What happens

The Little Minister is a lost 1922 American silent drama film directed by David Smith and produced and distributed by Vitagraph Company of America. It is based on an 1891 novel and 1897 play by J. M.

This version stars Vitagraph favorites Alice Calhoun and James Morrison. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
