The Italians have a son, Angelo, and their German friends a daughter, Gretchen. Angelo and Gretchen are sweethearts. Business goes against the grain with Angelo; he would rather sing. An impresario hears his voice and proposes to have it trained. Angelo goes home with the wonderful news and finds himself in the midst of a surprise party. The Mullardis have invited the Lillichs to a supper, at which Tony will announce the engagement of their children and that Angelo will become a partner in the business firm of Mullardi and Son. Tony's heart is crushed when Angelo refuses the arrangement and declares to be an opera singer. Angelo's debut is a great success and soon after the newspapers gossip of the engagement of the singer to a society belle. To celebrate his triumph Angelo gives a house-warming party, and his father and mother, not being invited, go of their own accord, thinking that an invitation has been miscarried. They are turned from the door as the great singer could not possibly introduce these simple people as his parents. Fast living rapidly proves Angelo's nemesis; his voice fails. His manager, the Society Lady and all of his swell friends turn their backs upon him. It is then that the mother comes and takes him back to the faithful Gretchen, and the sign "Mullardi and Son" is resurrected and nailed over the door. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
