What happens

A Society Scandal is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Allan Dwan, and starring Gloria Swanson and Rod La Rocque. Distributed by Paramount Pictures, the film is based on a 1922 play The Laughing Lady, by Alfred Sutro which starred Ethel Barrymore in 1923 on Broadway and originally in 1922 with Edith Evans in UK. Paramount remade the story in 1929 as The Laughing Lady, an early talkie for Ruth Chatterton. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
