The fancy Vedder has taken for Nick cannot be overcome by his daughter, Katrina, and the minute she shows signs of caring for an English officer he becomes more determined than ever that she shall marry Nick. First we see Nick calling on old Vedder and when Katrina enters the room, he tries to kiss her. For this he receives a sound slap and Katrina rushes from the room in anger. On her return, Jan and Nick having gone out, her anger soon turns to smiles as she sees her British sweetheart, through the window, coming to make an afternoon call. So intent is their love making that they do not bear Vedder return. Seeing the much-hated British cap, he not only throws it out of the door, but orders the lover from the house. A few evenings later after Nick has been to call on the old man, Vedder enters his house to behold his daughter waving to the officer, The old Dutchman is completely upset and getting the blunderbuss he fires: but his aim is bad and the Britisher, who had anticipated his act, had hidden in the bushes and was in no way injured. The father decides that Katrina must marry at once; Nick is notified and the time is set. The officer learning of the coming wedding is at a loss what to do, but "love finds a way." He goes to a tavern for his ale and there discovers the bridegroom in an awful state of intoxication, asleep. With a little more ale he induces him to change clothes with him and all looks better. At the pastor's he is mistaken for Nick by the near-sighted Vedder and the wedding proceeds. All goes well until Nick appears on the scene accompanied by an officer who has arrested him for his drunken condition while wearing the British uniform. When Vedder sees the real situation he goes into an awful temper, but finally realizes it is all for the best and the couple is forgiven. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
