Synopsis
Korvettenkapitän Robert Norgard of the German Navy is sailing off the Dalmatian coast of Italy when he rescues the life of an Italian aristocrat. The latter is grateful and sees Norgard as a desirable son-in-law, and when the ship calls at its next port Ragusa he tries to set him up with his daughter Julia. Norgaard mysteriously swaps uniforms with his servant Peter, unaware that Julia has done likewise with her maid due to her indignation at her father offering her hand in marriage without her permission.
