- Mr. Chandron, former cook grown rich, would like to have his daughter, Susan, marry a Marquis at least. She, however, loves her simple cousin, Paul, and when he requests her hand in marriage, he is driven from the house. The Marchioness of Pontlevis, on the contrary, desires a simple and modest young girl for her son Gondron, although he is infatuated with the beautiful actress, Lulu, much against her wishes. While out touring in their motor, the Marchioness and her son are obliged to stop very near the home of Mr. Chandron on account of a breakdown. There being a heavy rainstorm they seek shelter in his home and are received with great ceremony. A month later the Marchioness and the former cook have become great friends, and they plan together for the marriage of their children. When they see Susan and Gondron together in an animated conversation they think they are lovers, much to their delight, little suspecting that the two young people have just pledged that they would not marry each other. Susan soon concocts a plan which will fatally frustrate her father's hopes. Mr. Chandron invites the Marchioness and the Marquis to a great dinner in their honor, and be himself prepares a new dish, "Goose a la Colbert." The eventful evening finally arrives and they all enjoy the meal. At last with great pride Mr. Chandron serves his famous dish, but what is his surprise and consternation to hear Gondron say that he does not like it, and that goose should not be dressed in that manner. The cook's wrath is at its highest and in great anger the guests take their immediate departure. Susan endeavors to calm her father's ruffled spirits, and beckons to Paul, whom she has concealed in an adjoining room. She asks his opinion regarding the "Goose a la Colbert," and he apparently likes it so well that he requests a second portion. Extremely flattered and appeased, the inventor of the wonderful dish gladly gives his consent to the marriage of his daughter Susan to him.
