A tired-looking Max Linder is glad to get home; it must be a strenuous life, being a boulevardier in Paris. The family is glad to see him, and so is the dog, but the pony isn't. The darned beast keeps attacking him.
Max Linder was the first major international comedy star and this is a pleasant change of pace for his character. As with all families, no one takes him very seriously, particularly the trick pony who is his nemesis in this short, a clever little animal. Marcelle Leuvielle, whose only known screen appearance this is, is a fetching young woman who spends much of her time laughing at Max' discomfiture.
