A gang consisting of the Frog, who can dislocate his limbs; the Dope, a drug addict; Rose, who poses as the Dope's brutalized mistress; and Burke, the leader; prey on the sympathies and contributions of Chinatown sightseers, until Tom, reading about a deaf, mute, and nearly-blind supposed faith-healer called the Patriarch, living upstate, plans to take greater advantage of the public's gullibility. and Rose poses as the patriarch's long-lost niece and the Frog fakes a cure, when a real crippled boy, inspired by seeing the Frog's contorted limbs healed, walks for the first time. When news spreads and other cures occur, the gang collects much money, but gradually, each member, influenced by the Patriarch and the country atmosphere, changes for the better. The Frog becomes a widow's adopted son, while the Dope falls in love. When Rose almost falls for a millionaire, Tom overcomes his murderous jealousy and, renouncing his past, declares his love. After the Patriarch dies, Tom and Rose marry.

Elevate your space with this iconic 1919 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.
