The Girl from Nowhere
1921, English. Directed by George Archainbaud.
"The Girl from Nowhere" is an original screen story by Bradley King, which tells of a misguided society maid who, to her sorrow, elopes with a young man of questionable character who proves himself as worthless as he is worldly. Then see what happens.
Headstrong Mavis Cole defying her grandfather runs away with the wealthy but caddish Herbert Whitman. Proving he’s no good Herbert plants a stolen necklace on Mavis and attempts to have her arrested when he comes under suspicion, so Mavis flees to a hunting lodge then entering into a marriage of convenience with Jimmy Ryder to hide her identity. Meanwhile, Herbert bribes ex-convict Steve La Marche to steal a jewel from Dorothy Grosscup but Jimmy captures the thief, though he claims innocence. Dorothy accuses Mavis of the theft, but she is cleared by Steve, resulting in Herbert's arrest.
