His daughter, Marie, for whose musical education Heinrich sacrifices his savings, knows nothing of her father's position. Thinking that he is playing in an orchestra. To reimburse him, Marie enters the chorus of a musical comedy company, and soon attracts the attention of the manager. The latter presents her with a bracelet which her father insists upon returning to the giver, realizing that no stranger gives jewelry to a girl without expecting something in return. Later Marie is persuaded to join an after-theater supper party given by her manager. In company with the latter, another chorus girl and a friend of the host, they go to the restaurant where Heinrich is employed. Father and daughter come face to face. A dramatic scene ensues ending by the old musician taking his daughter home after he has been discharged. The next morning a representative of the German Consul calls upon him and presents a cablegram received from the manager of the Grand Opera Company in Berlin, for whom Heinrich formerly played, offering him his old position. Heinrich decides to return to Germany and thus his troubles are ended. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
