Perch of the Devil is a 1927 American silent drama film directed by King Baggot and starring Mae Busch, Pat O'Malley, and Jane Winton.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Ida Hook, a virile and slangy product of the West, casts eyes upon Gregory Compton, a young mining engineer, and determines to marry him.

Gregory is prospecting for gold on his ranch near Butte where the young couple afterwards live in a rudely constructed house.

Ora Blake, a wealthy young widow, stops at the ranch and hears Ida's tale of woe.

She sympathizes with the young self-pitying wife at the same time making herself so agreeable to Gregory that he thinks he has found in her a kindred spirit.

In fashionable continental capitals, Ida gains polish and wins the love of Lord Mobray, but in time she tires of the gay life of Europe and the gallant nobility loses its fascination.

Upon the arrival of Lord Mobray, Ida holds a house party in his honor and prevails upon Greg to attend.

Ora clings desperately to the brink of a deep shaft and pleads with Ida to save her life.
