content: Poster for the film The Devil's Daughter depicting several scenes and characters from the movie, with the movie title across the poster's center in large red letters against a white background. The top section of the poster shows a movie scene with a young woman reclining and two people standing over her. They are surrounded by tropical trees. The young woman wears a short light-colored camisole, while the person standing by her head wears a light-colored shirt and headwrap and holds a knife. The second person wears a light-colored shirt, pants, and panama hat, and holds his right fist up in a threatening manner while looking at the individual holding the knife. A woman in a red sleeveless dress, Nina Mae McKinney, stands at the edge of the scene. She holds a stall staff in her right hand and watches the scene over her left shoulder. Among the tropical foliage next to her is text that reads [Sister Against Siste r/ in a BURNING / DRAMA / OF LOVE / and HATE / in the / TROPICS!]. The bottom of the poster depicts McKinney seated in a three-quarter profile turn, gazing directly at the viewer. She is outlined in a red glow and has devil horns sketched over her head. There is a sketch of a devil's face over her left shoulder. On the left side of the poster is the figure of a man holding a piglet out in front of him. Below this figure is text that reads [See the Sensational / BLOOD DANCE].
