Monsieur et Madame veulent une bonne

Exasperated beyond measure at their bell call being absolutely ignored by their maid, the lady and master of the house rise from the table end go to the kitchen to give the inattentive servant a piece of their mind, but find that a rebuke would be useless, as she is helplessly drunk. She is therefore dismissed on the spot, and the husband tries to take her place by bringing the soup on the table himself. He, however, is not lucky, or very clumsy, for he trips, upsetting the soup and table in his fall. This first failure discourages both Monsieur and Madame and they advertise for a new girl. Their coal dealer, hearing of their plight, sends them a friend of his, but at the first attempts made by the new acquisition several valuable knick-knacks are smashed, and she is not long in following the trail of her predecessor. Madame, in despair, decides to go herself to the employment bureau, and is seen returning with a neat and alert looking female. She is shown her work and appears to be a real treasure, for she even notices that Monsieur has no matches for his cigarettes, and lighting one offers it to the astonished smoker. She then helps her masters with their coats and hats and bows the delighted couple out of the house. Thinking she is well rid of her employers for some time, the supposed maid pulls off her wig and starts ransacking the house for valuables. Several rare articles have already disappeared in the thief's bag, when the proprietor of the goods, returning for a forgotten umbrella, discovers the burglar's trick and gives chase. The thief runs up to the roof in his disguise. All the tenants of the house, roused by the noise, are after him, and, after a perilous chase, the burglar, cornered and with only one loop-hole for liberty, a chimney, dashes down the black, sooty hole and lands in the office of police headquarters. He tries to overthrow the high official, but the whole crowd of pursuers, having followed him down the same way, come on the scene, and the admired maid is overpowered and marched off to the police station.
