What happens

Quincy Adams Sawyer is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Clarence G. Badger and starring Lon Chaney, John Bowers, Barbara La Marr, and Blanche Sweet. Distributed by Metro Pictures, the film was written by Bernard McConville, based on the 1900 novel Quincy Adams Sawyer and Mason's Corner Folks, written by Charles Felton Pidgin. The novel had been previously adapted to film in 1912. The novel had sold over 1.5 million copies at the time, and had had a successful run as a play (written by Justin Adams). Pidgin went on in later years to write two sequels to his novel due to its immense popularity. The film was re-released in 1927 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, after Barbara La Marr's death.
