Why Women Remarry (1923)

Martin Talbot, a gambler who mistreats and neglects his family, is killed by Tuck McKinnon, but the blame falls on Don Compton, who holds a grudge against the victim and is found with the murder weapon. Policeman Dan Hannon eventually solves the crime while taking an interest in Mary Talbot and her children. The wives involved in the case all find new husbands: Mary Talbot marries Dan; Mrs. Compton realizes that Robert Milton, the sweetheart of her youth, is more understanding of her charitable work; jazz-crazed Mrs. McKinnon finds happiness with a musician named Billy; and Dan's sister seeks happiness with a new mate.
