Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Set in a poverty-stricken Irish rental community, The Marriage of Molly-O starred Mae Marsh as the eponymous heroine. Brutal rental agent Joseph McGuire (Walter Long) demands that Molly-O marry McGuire's son Denny (James O'Shea, lest her family be thrown out of their humble shack. But Molly-O prefers the company of carriage driver Larry O'Dea (Robert Harron), who unfortunately is just as broke as she is. Or is he? At film's end, Larry reveals himself to be the fabulously wealthy Sir Lawrence O'Dea -- and the evil McGuire's boss to boot!
