The Splendid Road is a 1925 American historical drama film directed by Frank Lloyd and starring Anna Q. Nilsson, Robert Frazer, and Lionel Barrymore.

As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] one of the passengers on a ship sailing from Boston around Cape Horn to California is an adventurous young woman, Sandra (Nilsson).

Rather than split the little family, Sandra adopts all three children, and decides to remain in Sacramento and make a home for them.

Chance brings Stanton Halliday (Frazer), an agent for John Grey (Davis), a capitalist, to her rescue and they become attracted to each other.

Halliday is shot by Dan Chehollis (Barrymore), a gambler who seeks to force his attentions on Sandra.
