Handlung
Julius Reuter nimmt zwischen Aachen und Brüssel seine “Taubenpost” in Betrieb und macht sich mit dieser Idee zum Gespött der Leute. Als es ihm jedoch gelingt, seine Kritiker davon zu überzeugen, dass sie auf diesem Weg der Nachrichtenübermittlung schneller über die Börsenkurse verfügen, zieht Reuter die Bankiers auf seine Seite. Die Erfindung der Telegrafie bereitet Reuters Höhenflug zwar ein jähes Ende, doch er gibt nicht auf. Zusammen mit seiner Frau Edna und geliehenem Geld mietet der Nachrichtenpionier eine Telegrafenleitung zwischen Wien und London. Reuter lässt die Friedensrede von Napoleon III. von Wien nach London telegrafieren und löst in der Presselandschaft eine Sensation aus. Nun ist Reuter ein gemachter Mann. Als die “Aglo Irish Telegraph Company” Reuters Idee kopiert und Nachrichten aus Übersee noch schneller übermittelt, scheint der Pionier allerdings wieder einmal am Ende zu sein …
