Bon dîner mal digéré

A poor beggar's ingenuity in finally obtaining a meal. After he has been repeatedly refused by everyone to whom he has appealed for aid. In the first scene we see him go to a café where a man is enjoying a hearty repast, but on being asked by the beggar to share it with him, he refuses. Next he goes to a dwelling and is met with the same rebuff. The servant at the door, however, gives him a long string and a sharp hook, and we see the fellow starting out with the firm resolution that he will now procure for himself some food, no matter what the risk. He hurries on to a delicatessen and puts the hook into a luscious looking chicken, turning around he pulls the string and drags the fowl after him. He does the same at the butcher's, where he gets a large sausage. Next he is fortunate enough to meet a wagon and performs the same trick, this time hauling in a large loaf of bread. Then he steals a bottle of wine, and when he feels has collected enough, he retires to a bench in the park and has a big feast. Evidently he overeats himself, for he stretches full length on the bench and falls asleep. In the next picture we see him having some horrible dreams that would put the Welsh Rarebit fiend to shame. His digestive organs soon work havoc with his mind and we see the chicken and sausage dancing a wild saraband over his head. Finally he rolls off the bench and the police arrive with all the trades people from whom he stole, and the unfortunate is landed in jail.
