What Happened to Jones (1926 film)

What Happened to Jones is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by William A. Seiter and starring Reginald Denny.

[2][3] As described in a review in a film magazine,[4] Tom Jones (Denny), who is to be married the next day to Lucille Bigbee (Nixon), goes home but is inveigled into a poker game.

The place is raided and Tom and a fat elderly friend, Ebenezer Goodly (Harlan), escaping down a fire escape land in a ladies' Turkish bath establishment, where they naturally create a hullabaloo and finally make a getaway in women's clothes, reaching Goodly's home in a milk wagon the next morning.

Tom escapes from the waiting cops by grabbing her and the real bishop (Elliott) and getting married in a speeding automobile.

Prints of What Happened to Jones are preserved at the Cinematheque Royale de Belgique in Brussels, Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, and UCLA Film and Television Archives.
