Henri is willing enough, but allows Marie to do as she pleases. Marie's relations with Germany makes such an alliance impossible, for Germany is young Jake Shultz. Chauncie is enraged, but does not lose hope. The French and German families now fully understanding how matters stand and drink to the happiness of the betrothed young couple. Chauncie is left in the cold. The two families are together thick as bees in the spring time, when suddenly comes news that war has been declared between their respective sods. Immediately a blank wall of hate rises between them. Trouble starts. Jake and Marie also read the dreadful news, but intense love conquers. They declare strict neutrality. War between their families starts. Chauncie sees his chance. He calls Henri's attention to the fact that Marie is betrothed to a hated German and offers his fighting strength to Henri if his proposed alliance to Marie is clinched. Henri takes him up, and endeavors to separate his daughter from Jake. Likewise, Shultz endeavors to separate his son, Jake, from Marie. A terrible battle in the meanwhile rages between the chagrined families. It is brought to an abrupt stop by the intervention of America, in the shape of husky cops, who duck the contending parties in the horse-trough to cool off. When Marie and Jake return home and announce their marriage they are disowned. A year later, the banished young pair form a triple alliance. The third party being a sweet rose-bud baby. With hearts yearning to see the old folks, Marie and Jake go home. The third party to the triple alliance has its wee say in the matter and together with its pink toes and its baby blue eyes, effectually seals the peace pact between the warring factions in happiness, forever.
