Arrived in New York, Gretchen obtains work in the delicatessen kept by her sister's husband Emil. She is greatly surprised one day when her sweetheart Hans suddenly presents himself at the store. Gretchen isn't pleased with his arrival; she has been able to make a decided impression on an American, George. Anna and Emil look after him and soon get him a job. Hans invites Gretchen to go with him to the annual picnic of the German colony where they live, but she turns him down and asks George to be her escort instead. Her German lover realizes that she does not like his old-country clothes, and gets himself a brand-new American outfit. At the picnic Gretchen is suddenly deserted by George, who sees a pretty girl in the crowd and thinks that he would like a change of partner, leaving her to her own devices. George gets badly left, as he well deserves, when the girl he follows is claimed by her pugilist beau, who soon sends George about his business. He goes to look for Gretchen, but finds her in Hans' arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
