Ermine and Rhinestones

Ermine and Rhinestones is a 1925 silent film, written by Louise Winter, and directed by Burton L. King Billy Kershaw, the son of a manufacturer in a small western town, comes to New York City on business.

He becomes engaged to wealthy Peggy Rice, a member of the modern jazz set, who prefers to "play the field" with other men.

At a fashion show, Peggy persuades Billy to buy her an ermine wrap, trimmed with rhinestones, which is modeled by a girl who turns out to be Minette.

Billy realizes that Peggy is no more than a gold digger and breaks the engagement.

Billy, however, defeats Gorman in a fight, and at the very last minute saves Minette from being gassed to death in her apartment.
