————————————————————————————————————
A young man calls upon his sweetheart but there is a knock on the door and her husband enters. The scared Romeo leaps into a wardrobe and a view of the interior shows him cogitating what course to pursue. He hits upon the idea of disguise; the wardrobe is filled with woman's apparel. He dons skirts, bonnet, waist and coat, and makes himself look like a fashionable damsel. The husband has been suspecting; and throws open the wardrobe. But to his surprise he is confronted by a coquettish girl who chucks him playfully under the chin, bows politely and steps out, saving the day for the desperate wife. In the street he is now approached by a masher, and then another and before he can realize it he is being followed by a number of dudes. He outwits them by jumping into a baker's cart and is wheeled away by the unsuspecting owner. When the baker opens the lid the daring man pops out, kisses him vigorously, gathers up his skirts and runs swiftly home. (Pathé films [Supplement 1], 1908)
