As the holiday season approaches, Hilda becomes increasingly desperate to find a wealthy suitor and secure her future. Meanwhile, Janet becomes involved with a young artist named Peter, who is struggling to make a name for himself in the competitive art world. As Hilda's search for a husband becomes more frantic, Janet must choose between following her sister's lead or following her heart.Tinsel and Gold explores themes of love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness in a world where appearances are everything.
