They were a strange pair, yet they never failed to do for each other when necessary. Through a strange freak of fate they were thrown together when Simms saved Ringo's life. Later, when Simms was very ill, his friend saved him from death. If one was in trouble he sent out the "friendly call" to the other and there was an immediate response. Ringo called for his friend one day. He was pursued by a woman, so he called on Bell to take her off his hands. Bell did, and fell in love and married the woman. After a while they did not get along together, and when Bell could no longer stand the nagging he sent for Ringo. Although he did not like the idea, Ringo had to get busy. So one night he "accommodated" his friend by running away with his wife. This brought peace and happiness to Bell again, but not Ringo, and the picture ends with Bell wondering if his wife will get a divorce and marry Ringo. If he does not get rid of her any other way, the chances are that he (Bell) will have to take her off his friend's hands. Written by Moving Picture World, May 1, 1920 See less
