Ole finally decides to leave for America. Verner writes to Gustaf Frese, in New York, who is swindling the immigrants, reminding him of his father's wish that he should marry Frieda, and stating that she will bring a good-sized dowry. Gus consults with his accomplice, Dick, and decides to have her come over and marry her, as they need a woman in their game. Ole goes to Gus to get a job, and secures one in the small apartment hotel where Gus resides. Frieda is about to leave for America with her father, when she receives a letter from Ole. She sneaks away to read it, but is discovered by Verner, who snatches it from her. He indignantly takes it to Johannes and orders him to tell Ole to stop writing to Frieda. Johannes flies into a fit of rage, resulting in a fit of apoplexy, which later proves fatal. In the dual role of porter and bellhop, Ole has many experiences between Liza, the old. man, Sam, who has a continual jag on, and the newlyweds, who want him to play butler for their party. Ole receives a letter stating that Frieda has left for America, and runs into the street searching for her and questioning the people as to whether they have seen his Frieda. In fact, Frieda has already arrived, and Gus has engaged an apartment for her in the same house where Ole is porter, but he is not aware of the fact. She is to be married the following day to Gus. The next day Ole is informed that his father has died, and he is handed quite a lot of money which has been left him. He hastens back to the apartment. To get even, he purchases the house and chases all the tenants out. Finally bursting into the apartment where Frieda is being married to Gus, he stops the ceremony, chases them all out, and when he and Frieda are alone, renews their interrupted romance.
