Travelling up to Sydney, he meets a lady, Glenn Martin's father's cousin, and they marry after a lightning romance, following which he gets an acting role in the film "Forty Thousand Horsemen". When the Second World War starts, he is arrested and put into an internment camp in Victoria. She joins him. At this point she discovers that back in Germany, he was a Baron with lands.
