What happens

Lily of the Alley is a lost 1924 British silent film drama directed, written and produced by Henry Edwards, who also starred in the film with his wife Chrissie White. The film was experimental in form, with Edwards attempting the innovation of producing a coherent screen narrative entirely without the use of intertitles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
