Little Moritz, bearing a letter of introduction to a gentleman with a charming daughter, makes his appearance at the house to ask him for the young lady's hand, but is cruelly turned down by the girl's father, owing to his insignificant size. In despair, Moritz casts about him for some means of increasing his stature, and finally spying a pair of stilts, proceeds to don them, and likewise appears of elongated dimension, and makes his reappearance at the house, where he amazes everybody with his surprising growth. His petition is granted, and everything is progressing beautifully, only poor Moritz falls over and can't get up; this, of course, leads to the discovery of his duplicity, but the father, appreciating a good joke, grants his permission now.
