Jacques has a chance to play in an orchestra in America, and he goes away promising to send for Francine later. When he arrives in America he finds a room in a cheap boarding-house where Emeline, the landlady's daughter, falls in love with him, ignoring Mr. Darling for him. Wishing to become thoroughly Americanized, he lets Emeline dictate to him. At last Jacques is able to send for Francine with her bird, a gift from Jacques; she arrives and he takes her to the boarding-house. She arouses vindictive Emeline's jealousy. When Francine innocently goes to Jacques' room, he reproves her and tells her that no good girl in America would go to a man's room. Emeline criticizes all that Francine does, and Jacques, in his desire that Francine shall act as Americans do, upholds Emeline and scolds Francine. The French girl's misery is made double by the death of her bird, which she loved very much. In despair Francine begs Jacques to marry her and to take her back to France. Jacques is willing, but Emeline interferes by coming to Francine and telling her that she is forcing herself on Jacques and that he said he shall not marry her so soon, it would be un-American-like. Francine decides to go to Jacques' room and then he will have to marry her to save her reputation. Jacques finds her there and is very angry. Emeline hears them talking and comes to Jacques' room with her mother and Mr. Darling and accuses Francine of being a worthless girl. Jacques realizes what Emeline is, denounces her cunning, and takes Francine to his heart. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
