The film begins with Max being invited to dinner with his fiancée and future in-laws. To be polite, he stops on the way at a bakery to bring along a small gift for the in-laws. Unfortunately, he steps on some flypaper and has a devil of a time getting it off himself. When he arrives at the dinner, he's quite sticky and this causes LOTS of problems--which would have all been alleviated had he told them of his flypaper predicament. The title of the print gives the wrong date and title. Although there may well have been an earlier version with a similar plot (a number of films, which Max Linder made between 1905 and 1908, are still unidentified) it is quite clear that this particular one was made in 1910.

1913 film by Max Linder

Max visits a lady doctor for a chest cold and is alternately anxious and nervous and excited, in a romantic and sexual way, depicted by his clever pantomime.

Max starts out at a costume store to get a costume for a party. He sees a suit of armor and purchases it. He wears it to the party and gets kind of drunk and passes out. In the meantime, a museum has a suit of armor ready for a new display. It is to be dedicated and some such. It comes up missing, so Max, passed out and still in his armor is put on display.

据说当年一位叫Linder的导演和本片导演打赌，看他能不能在3天之内拍出一部片子。于是本片导演Abel Gance想到要把Linder女友的家拍成鬼宅，并且捉弄他一下。
最后，就在3天期限截至之前，那个叫Linder的家伙接到女友的电话，说家里闯进来一个头上流脓的怪人要对自己图谋不轨，于是Linder火急火燎赶到现场，不仅亲眼看着自己的赌局崩溃，也用真情实感客串了一把
