Reginald Morton is a wealthy idler of athletic tendencies. He has become bored with the shallow social set in which he moves, although he is engaged to marry Dorothy Fleming, a member of it. Dorothy is engaged to Reggie mainly because of his money, and is flirting desperately with all comers. While out in his automobile one day Reggie chances upon a lost little girl sitting on the curb. He takes her back to her home in the slums and there he sees and falls in love with Agnes Shannon, a sweet young girl of good family now compelled to earn her living in a cheap cabaret. He then discovers that Dorothy is faithless to him and breaks his engagement, leaving him free to pay court to Agnes. His rival for the affections of Agnes is Tony Bernard, the leader of the gangsters of the neighborhood, and Bernard has instructed one of his henchmen to bring Agnes to him. Reggie frustrates the scheme, beats up the henchman, and the owner of the dive in which Agnes works hires him as his bouncer. But Bernard has not given up the idea of possessing the girl, and as Reggie is the only obstacle in the way of getting her, he orders him shot. They way-lay Reggie, but he beats them up one by one. Cornered at last, Reggie challenges Bernard to enter a room alone with him and have it out, the man who survives the battle to get the girl. Bernard agrees. A fight takes place. The light is smashed, but it continues until the two men, their shirts stripped from their back, are too exhausted to go on. By a supreme effort Reggie deals the final blow and staggers out, where he is attacked by the band. But the police have been tipped off. How Reggie finally wins Agnes is the culmination of a romance.

Elevate your space with this iconic 1916 Action, Comedy, Drama poster. Premium quality cinema art print — perfect wall decor for movie fans.
Not one negative word comes to mind. No problems, no mistakes, nothing bad at all. Came exactly when it said, it was exactly what I ordered, and exactly what I wanted.
I was really pleased with the quality of the poster. I had never ordered a product from Etsy and was not expecting the customer service to be this efficient. I forgot to add my house number to the address and it was immediately resolved by the incredible customer arrived. Furthermore, my package was lost in pre transit and was immediately sorted and got sent to my house just 24 hours later. I’m incredibly happy with my lost highway poster and couldn’t recommend this company enough! 10/10
Excellent poster - I've purchased from a few different poster vendors on Etsy, and this is by far the best print quality weve received. Will absolutely buy from this vendor again.
Thrilled with the posters. I bought 12 on the 3 for 2 deal and the seller was quick to reply and so helpful when I enquired about how to claim the deal. Communication was brilliant, excellent customer service. The poster quality is fantastic, really impressed. Packaged perfectly and despatched really fast.
Perfect! Love this poster I’m so happy to have it in my room on display. Only “complaint” is that because it’s an older film, there is some grain in the print itself. That’s no fault of the seller of course it’s just how the print is. But just a heads up for anyone interested in this. Poster was packed securely and well. Very happy with it! Will order again if I have any other posters I’m after.
