The Story of Alexander Graham Bell (1939)
In 1873 young Alexander Graham Bell, a teacher of deaf mutes, experiments with a way to visualize sound so that his pupils will be able to speak. Alec's project leads him to work on the development of a telegraph, and consequently, Thomas Sanders, the father of one of his pupils, introduces the young inventor to businessman Gardner Hubbard, hoping that Hubbard will offer his financial support. Alec falls in love with Hubbard's deaf daughter Mabel, but is unable to propose for lack of funds. However, Mabel supports Alec's endeavors, and when he threatens to give up his new invention, the telephone, to find a wage paying job, Mabel insists that he continue with his experiments. Together with his assistant, Thomas Watson, Alec toils in the face of hunger and adversity until miraculously, his invention "speaks." Alec's New England Bell Company is reluctantly backed by Sanders and Hubbard, and after Alec and Mabel are married, they voyage to England to demonstrate the invention to Queen Victoria. When the queen agrees to install the device in Buckingham Palace, Alec's financial worries appear to be over until he receives word that a company backed by Western Union is challenging his patent. Alec and Mabel immediately return to America to bring suit against the company for patent infringement. During a dramatic court trial, Mabel produces evidence that proves that her husband developed the phone first, thus winning Alec a stunning victory as Western Union cedes defeat and offers to go into partnership with Bell
