Synopsis
Billy, the son of a manufacturer in a small western town, comes to New York on business. He becomes engaged to Peggy Rice, a member of the modern jazz set. Sometime before, Billy had sent Jim Gorman to jail for theft, causing Gorman's girl, Minette Christie, to leave town. 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. Gorman shows up and attempts to kill Minette, for he believes she turned him in. Billy, however, defeats Gorman in a fight and saves Minette in the nick of time from being gassed to death in her apartment. Billy comes to realize that Minette is the girl for him.
