Why Men Forget (1921)

Richard Mutimer is discharged for taking up the time of the men in a factory while listening to his socialistic utterances. He becomes suddenly wealthy through the death of an uncle. Then he proceeds to forget his old sweetheart, Emma Vine, and marries a society girl. The uncle's will is found and the estate, it is disclosed, belongs to other heirs. Richard returns to his poor home, where his former friends mob him, and at last he finds comfort in the arms of Emma, although he has been seriously injured.
