A Brewerytown Romance

• Watchlist

Emil Schweitzer rules Lena Krauthammer with an iron hand. She loves to tango. Emil does not dance. Tango Heinz "Emil's rival" is the champion Tangoer of Brewerytown. Emil takes Lena to the cabaret, and while he is out buying cigarettes she dances with Heinz. Emil returns and starts a fight. Drawing a gun, he chases Heinz. Heinz dashes through the streets with Emil following shooting, and Lena a close third. They knock down pedestrians, break up stands and set the town in an uproar. During the chase Lena meets her old sweetheart, Cassidy the cop, and he joins in. Emil chases Heinz to the riverfront. Being cornered, Heinz to avoid being shot dives off the dock and swims to a boat loaded with nitro-glycerine. Emil from shore shoots and hits the cans; the boat blows up and Heinz goes sailing in air. Tickled at what he has done, Emil starts for home when Heinz falls from the sky onto Emil's neck. The fight is resumed. Cassidy and Lena rush to the scene; the cop separates them. Heinz tells Lena that she must choose between Emil and him. Lena gives them the laugh, and chooses Cassidy. Emil and Heinz look at each other. While their backs are turned Lena and Cassidy push them overboard and start for the ministers. Emil and Heinz come up out of the water, look at the empty dock, kiss each other and both sink.
