The Unknown Wife

1921 · 50 min

A quiet, old-fashioned melodrama where a fresh start is shadowed by the past catching up.

Overview
Donald Grant, after serving a prison term, obtains a job in a smalltown factory where he meets Helen Wilburton, who invites him to board with her and her father. He marries her, and on the first night of their honeymoon, a burglary is traced to one of Donald's former cohorts.
