- During an excursion to Zurich, Gerda, the pretty boarder of a Lausanne school, falls in love with Hans Landolt, the owner of the hotel where she stays. Now, the young lady is still a minor and Sir Walter, her eccentric uncle and legal guardian living in Calcutta, opposes the marriage.

And for a good reason: Landholt Sr. had indeed promised him the right to - a free meal of the day for the rest of his life.
