Plot.

John Carter is a good fellow. In fact, his good fellowship is Carter's one great fault, for the highballs and cocktails which go with it too frequently make him forget his more serious obligations and are cause for anxiety on the part of his charming fiancée Marybelle. Marybelle's little brother, Billie asks Carter what is making Marybelle so sad. Carter replies evasively, "It's a Ringtailed Rhinoceros." Billie vows to kill the rhino. When Carter fails to appear on time at a dinner which was planned to announce his engagement to Marybelle, and finally arrives intoxicated, her parents in anger force her to break the engagement and forbid Carter the house. Marybelle's rejection of Carter hits him hard.

Wiki.

The Ringtailed Rhinoceros (also cited The Ring-Tailed Rhinoceros) is a lost 1915 American silent comedy-drama film that depicted the ruinous effects of alcohol on a good-natured man and on the lives of the people around him. Like snakes and "pink elephants" that have been used in many societies to symbolize heavy drinking or been associated with the hallucinations of drunkards, the main character in this "'photophantasy'" blamed instead a "Ringtailed Rhinoceros" for his excessive use of wine and liquor.The production's screenplay, written by Lawrence McCloskey, consisted basically of two parts: the first being a depiction of real-life events in an alcoholic's life and the latter part being a presentation of his bizarre dream in which he wandered through a land of strange people and animals to find and kill the evil rhino. Directed by George Terwilliger and starring Raymond Hitchcock and Flora Zabelle, this Lubin production was filmed on location in Long Island, New York and St. Augustine, Florida.

The Library of Congress includes the film among the National Film Preservation Board's list of "7,200 Lost U.S. Silent Feature Films" produced between 1912 and 1929.
