Synopsis
Papa Brinker was injured years ago and lost his memory.
He can't remember where the family's small fortune is buried or how a valuable gold watch came into his possession.
His son Hans, daughter and wife live in poverty.
How the buried treasure is found---how the mysterious watch points the way to happiness for Dr. Boekman and how daughter Gretel wins the silver skates make a thrilling tale.
