The Amazing Wife

1919 · 1h · Drama

Through a series of tragic circumstances Cicely Osborne finds herself alone in the world after her new husband is slain. Taking note that a lieutenant with the same name as her husband has died in the war, she presents herself to his aristocratic parents as his widow and soon ingratiates herself. Only John's disabled cousin Philip suspects her. John returns, having only been wounded, and seeing that his mother loves Cicely, he continues the masquerade, slowly falling in love with Cicely. When Philip threatens exposure the cousins fight causing John's war wound to reopen. Thinking that he is dying, John summons a priest, who solemnizes his union with Cicely. John later recovers and the two resume their life together.
