Zwei rote Rosen (1928)

Ernst Ritter, a poor composer, writes a great song-hit called " Two Red Roses." He is in love with Friell, a florist's girl. Two financiers agree that their children, Lilli and Erik, are to marry, but the boy refuses as he has become ensnared by Friell. Owing the to number of guests being just thirteen, she is invited to occupy the fourteenth chair at the dinner, which is intended to "announce" Erik's engagement, with the result that the prospective groom pays undue attention to her. There is a scandal and the young man is disinherited. As time passes, however, it becomes clear that the young man is really attracted by Lilli, and recognizing this the florist girl magnanimously makes her rival happy and turns to her faithful composer-sweetheart for happiness.
