Mrs. Temple's Telegram is a 1920 American silent comedy film directed by James Cruze and starring Bryant Washburn and Wanda Hawley.

[3][4] As described in a film magazine,[5] Jack Temple (Washburn) adores his wife, but Mrs. Clara Temple (Hawley) is extremely jealous, and accuses him of flirting with a pretty woman in a department store tea room.

After his wife's departure, the woman in question follows Jack around the store and even onto the roof of the building, where he was trying to hide.

Jack realizes his wife will never believe this story, so he invents a yarn about visiting his friend John Brown (White) in a distant town.

Things become complicated with the arrival of Mrs. Brown (Schaefer), the pretty young woman who caused all the trouble, but, after she introduces herself as one of Clara's cousins, all ends happily.
