Butterflies in the Rain is a 1926 American silent romantic comedy film directed by Edward Sloman and starring Laura La Plante, James Kirkwood and Dorothy Cumming.

As described in a film magazine,[3] Tina Carteret the beautiful daughter of an aristocratic English family, is a believer in the "new freedom" for women, and is an ardent follower of a group of fake bohemians whom she regards as the earth’s elect.

When riding she is forced to cross the neighboring estate of John Humphries, a wealthy commoner who has recently purchased the property of a peer, bringing upon himself the bitter resentment of Tina’s snobbish family.

All goes well until Tina announces her intention of taking a holiday in Spain with the quack Bohemians, who are secretly scheming to blackmail the wealthy pair.

She fights him off, throwing a dagger that wounds him just as the man’s wife and her lawyer enter with the rest of the party and place a hideous interpretation on the compromising scene.
