- When but a boy he had turned his eager eyes to the wonderland westward. So with a great resolve, but little money and much advice, he bade fond good-byes to the village-folks and left his Germany, to sail across the old seas. Year after year glided by. Year after year the old villagers continued to forget the departed Hans. One day, some nine years after he had first arrived in the fairy realms, the thought anew the desire to return to the home land. To Germany he went. To the old hut of his old parents he came. It was a balmy day. Soon Hans hit upon a joke; if his parents did not recognize him he would ask for lodging as a stranger and when the fun had lived several days he would disclose his real identity. He was taken into the parents' house, the Stranger that was their son. To impress them, he took every opportunity that presented itself, and made others, to make his wealth apparent to his frugal elders, and he achieved his purpose in too great a degree. The money that was intended to awe his parents hypnotized them. In all the days of their lives they had not had the gold which each day the stranger carelessly cast away. The yellow lure entered their hearts and the crimson thoughts came to their minds and the murder of covetousness owned their hands. In detail to describe the power that stayed the murderous hand requires more than the line or two we have remaining. Suffice it to say that the secret became known to his parents, and that Hans lived, and loved, in Germany.—Moving Picture World synopsis
