The Divorcee (1917)
Traveling to Reno, Nevada to visit her brother Sam, inexperienced romantic Wanda Carson playfully adopts the persona of a divorcée within the local colony, passing off her companion's baby as her own and quickly becoming a favorite among the residents. While there, she crosses paths with Reverend Jerry Ferguson, a visiting clergyman from Boston who strongly opposes divorce, after he rescues her from a runaway horse. Under assumed frontier identities, the two begin a secret romance in the hills, while simultaneously engaging in a public newspaper debate over divorce views without realizing each other's true identities. As their bond deepens, Wanda decides to step back from the charade, only for complications to mount when an angry colony member exposes her fabricated child secret to Jerry, and a series of misunderstandings involving a local holdup and a pursuing sheriff threaten to unravel their secret worlds.
