West of the Water Tower is a 1923 American silent comedy drama film produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine review,[3] Guy Plummer, the son of the small town's orthodox, narrow minded clergyman, becomes involved in a love affair with Bee Chew, the daughter of a wealthy atheist.

They wed in secret through the aid of Cod Dugan, a poolroom operator.

Guy tells his father, who then admits that he, too, similarly sinned in his youth and decides to give up his pulpit.

In the end, Guy wins back the favorable opinion of his neighbors, the existence of the marriage is proven, and the young couple find happiness.
