Deserted at the Altar is a 1922 American silent film melodrama[1] directed by William K. Howard[1] and produced by Phil Goldstone Productions.

When her brother Tommy (Lee) is hit by a car, the wealthy driver pays the doctor bills, and falls in love with Anna.

This thwarts the villains' initial plans, so they go on to hire a woman to pose as the driver's estranged partner and mother of his child, and stop the wedding.

When the woman reveals her true identity, the villains are exposed, and Anna and her rich fiancé are reunited.

[11] The film is notable for its then-novel methods of promotion, which included stunts, such as weddings in movie theaters,[12] and staged "Just Married" car rides around town.
