Plot: The little town of Fleissengen, in far off Germany, is the pleasant locale chosen for "The International Romance." The month is July. Fatigued by their long tramp through the woods, Fritz and his party of hunter friends pause at "Zur Wald Huett'n," a typical mountain inn. The inn is conducted by Gottfriend who is the father of Lena. And Lena is the prepossessing sweetheart of Fritz. While Lena goes for refreshing steins of beer, her rival "Tony" enters the room and coaxes Fritz to give her a sprig of Edelweiss which he is wearing in his coat lapel. Unfortunately for Lena's peace of mind, she turns just in time to witness Fritz's unconscious deceit. "Tony" escapes with the coveted flower, while Lena is left in tears. Soon afterward a party of rich American tourists stop at the inn for luncheon. Billy West, a handsome young fellow in the party immediately becomes captivated with Lena, and she, in a spirit of revenge, flirts openly with him. Fritz is immediately consumed with an ungovernable passion and decides to have it out with the young American. He does so, much to the amazement and chagrin of the young American. When he understands the true status of affairs, however, he effects a reconciliation between the estranged levers and everything is once more in keeping with the tranquil peacefulness of the locality.
