What happens

Where the Pavement Ends is a 1923 American silent South Seas romantic drama film directed by Rex Ingram on location in Cuba and starring his wife Alice Terry and Ramon Novarro as lovers. The film was produced and distributed by Metro Pictures. Shooting began in September 1922, at Hialeah Studios in Miami, Florida, yet another source says the film was shot in Coconut Grove, Florida. According to a review in Life, the film was released with a "tragic" ending in New York City and a "happy" ending in other markets. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
