Little Johnnie Du Bois and Heinie Schultz start things by their "Hoch Der Kaiser" and "Vive La France," with the result that they are soon engaged in their own miniature war. Their parents are furious and the Du Bois, in the flat overhead, stamp on the floor and shout their battle-cry, while the Schultzes downstairs respond in kind. Things are going from bad to worse, when the Schultzes' eldest son Fritz arrives from medical college, and Marie, the Du Bois' pretty daughter returns from the hospital, where she is a trained nurse. This quiets things somewhat. Later, the eldest son and the pretty daughter meet and fall in love. Heinie and Johnnie, still bitter enemies, and backed up by their "allies," decide to fight it out in a vacant lot. The parents are told of this and start for the scene of battle. There a battle royal takes place between two the families. After a terrific struggle they are separated and almost dragged home by their respective loving son and daughter. All the participants are a sight to behold, and Fritz's and Marie's Red Cross knowledge comes in handy. Their tender, impartial ministrations cause better feelings and after the excitement calms down, all see the humor of their ridiculous patriotism. No one objects when Fritz embraces Marie before them, waves an American flag over their bandaged heads and shouts, "First and foremost we're all good Americans."
