His Wife's Husband (1922 American film)

His Wife's Husband is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Kenneth S. Webb and starring Betty Blythe, Huntley Gordon, and Arthur Edmund Carewe.

[2] As described in a film magazine review,[3] "Olympia Brewster, a young college-bred woman, becomes a waitress at a mediocre hotel, and then marries a man she does not love to escape this drudgery.

Immediately after the ceremony, she realizes his true character and leaves him, fleeing the hotel just as a gunshot is fired downstairs.

The secretary gives his name as Steele, though he bares a sterling resemblance to the wastrel Olympia had one married.

Steele disarms her suspicions, but, after arranging the betrayal of the mayor to his political opponents, Steele brazenly informs his employer that he is his wife's husband and will have to be so acknowledged, or the mayor will have to withdrawal his candidacy for governor.
