Synopsis
Fritz Wagner develops a formula for a new scent in the German perfume factory where he and his best friend work. Slipping into the factory one night, the friend steals the formula and then disappears from the area. Years later, Fritz takes his family to America and sends his young son to a local school. Unable to speak proper English, Hans is aided in class by Amy, and the two children soon become close companions. By chance, Fritz meets up with his false friend, now a prominent figure in the American perfume business, and accuses him of the theft. During the ensuing argument, Fritz discovers that Amy is his rival's daughter and upon her next visit, he sends her away from his gate. On her way home, she is kidnapped by gypsies, but disobeying his father's orders, Hans takes off to find his friend and rescues her from her captors. The innocent bravery of the children finally reconciles the two fathers, restoring harmony in the hearts of men.
