A soldier steals his officer's money and asks the music-hall singer he is mad about to run away with him.
This early dramatic one-reeler from Pathe is acted in what seems like the high style for French dramas in this period: over-the-top arm waving and some fairly slothful editing, seemingly to bring up the lenght of the movie to a full reel. I see no reason for the soldier to be shown climbing the wall of the military compound, then showing him climbing down on the outside. Of cours,e such long-winded editing was common at the time, and persisted into the middle of the 1930s. That, however, does not make it any more interesting.
