His Temporary Wife is a lost[1] 1920 American silent comedy film directed by Joseph Levering.

[2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Annabelle Rose (De Remer) is employed as a nurse by aged millionaire Howard Eliot (Carleton), who desires beauty in the person who cares for him.

She finds it impossible to obtain work and after suffering and close to starvation she answers an advertisement for a temporary wife.

Annabelle consents to the temporary arrangement after opening the letter after sixty days and discovering that she has inherited the Eliot fortune.

Through the influence of Judge Laton (Breese), Verna is cast aside and Arthur's temporary wife becomes permanent.
