The widow writes her son to come home and protect her from the "insulting Dago down-stairs," while the Italian writes his daughter to come home and comfort him. Her son and his daughter start for home and become acquainted at the railroad station, but neither knows where the other lives. In watering her flowers, a few drops splash into the room. He retaliates by knocking her pots off the sill. The "Dago" takes the widow's table cloth, when she throws the crumbs out of the window. The Italian explains the situation to his daughter, who has just arrived home. She starts up-stairs to return the widow's table cover, while the widow's son goes down-stairs with the "Dago's" broom. They meet in the hallway and are surprised to find that they both live in the same house. They form a great liking for each other and frequently signal one another from their windows. On one occasion he drops a bouquet from his window to the girl; the Italian gets it, and, thinking it is a peace offering from the widow, he immediately goes up-stairs to pay his respects, and they become good friends. A comical mishap causing a crash of china and glassware brings their respective son and daughter into the room. After due explanations the scene terminates happily in typical East Side fashion.
