Oh Billy, Behave is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Grover Jones and starring Billy West, Charlotte Merriam and Lionel Belmore.[1]
Plot[edit]
Wealthy young Edwin Dunwell, who constantly worries about his health, meets and falls for Diana Lovely after he accidentally causes her car to plunge into a river. Unbeknownst to Edwin, his relatives are scheming to inherit his fortune and plan to harm him. When his doctor mistakenly predicts his death at 5:00 PM, Edwin's relatives attempt to manipulate him into signing a new will. However, upon discovering their deceit, Edwin refuses to sign and later learns that the diagnosis was inaccurate, caused by a bee in the doctor's stethoscope. Relieved and cured of his anxiety, Edwin decides to pursue Diana, who is about to depart on a train, and persuades her to marry him despite her father's objections.
