Marriage in Transit is a 1925 American silent comedy film directed by Roy William Neill. It stars Edmund Lowe and Carole Lombard. [1]
As described in a film magazine review, [2] a Secret Service agent is assigned to recover a government code and capture the bandits that stole it. Because he resembles the ringleader of the bandits, he poses as him, recovers the code, marries the fiancée of the ringleader, and escapes. The young woman remains ignorant until later that she has married a Secret Service agent instead of a crook.
With no prints of Marriage in Transit located in any film archives, [3] it is a lost film. [4]
