On his way to the affair he gets into difficulties and is spotted by a customs officer as a member of a Holland party ready to sail in the steerage for the land of tulips and windmills. So he is dumped in the steerage compartment. He thinks he has miraculously landed at the costume party, and is surprised that all the others evidently decided to costume as Hollanders, too. He picks for himself a little Dutch girl, who cannot speak English but is quite familiar with the language of love. A husky Hollander who is sweet on the imported cutie picks on the poor hero. By mistake he drinks a mixture of shellac and alcohol. This puts a lot of artificial courage in him and he trims the big rival. Arrived in Holland, the rival complains to the girl's father that the stranger has stolen his daughter's love from him. He is thrown into jail, but escapes in time to stop the marriage of the heroine to the rival. Written by
