It is afternoon in a French garden. Three men are sitting at a table, two of them playing cards while the third smokes and reads a newspaper. The man who is not playing cards calls over a young girl and has her fetch a woman with a bottle of wine. He proceeds to pour glasses for himself and his friends. After drinking the wine, the man reads a story out of the newspaper, and his friends laugh.

The film, long presumed lost,[1] was rediscovered after 1981 and included on a home video release in 2008.[2]
