What happens

Six Cylinder Love is a lost 1923 American silent comedy film produced and distributed by Fox Film and directed by Elmer Clifton. The film is based on a popular 1921 Broadway play and stars Ernest Truex from the play. Other actors appearing in the film from the Broadway play are Donald Meek and Ralph Sipperly. Both Hedda Hopper and June Walker had substantial roles in the long-running play, but did not appear in the film. Walker's part was played by ingenue Florence Eldridge in her first film. Also making their film debuts are Donald Meek and Thomas Mitchell. In 1931, Fox produced an early sound remake starring newcomer Spencer Tracy. The 20th Century Fox studio remade the story in 1939 as The Honeymoon's Over. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
