Berthe Jalabert's son died in the Great War, and she takes care of his children: Sandra Milovanoff, a typewriter, and René Poyen, an apprentice printer. Jean Devalde is courting Mlle Milovanoff, and they seem to be very much in love. He is not, as he claims, a housepainter and paperhanger. He is the pampered son of retired General Adolphe Candé. His sister and he want Devalde to make a suitable marriage. Devalde offers to set up Mlle Milonavoff, but she is a good girl. She is also heartbroken.
Poyen may be best remembered for appearing in Louis Feuillade's Bout-de-Zan shorts, and also JUDEX. Here he plays a good-natured young scamp, an Apache with a heart. Feuillade uses his basic camera set-ups here to tell his story, and it's an engaging short feature, mostly due to the scenes between Poyen and Candé.
