He slips the goose inside his overcoat, and, leaving his own bundle in its place, makes off with his capture. The goose protests so vigorously that Polidor finds it difficult to keep it under control. The unlucky thief enters a wedding procession, making for the hotel, and finds himself invited to join the party. At table his struggles to keep the head of the goose from coming out of his overcoat (which he cannot be persuaded to relinquish) draw attention to him, whereupon, walking hurriedly across the table, he makes for the bedroom next door and puts the goose inside the bed. The dinner comes to an end, and the couple are about to retire to their room, but Polidor dashes in before them, intent on recovering the goose, and is behind the curtains when they enter with the bride's mother. There are screams from the ladies and angry cries from the groom when Polidor's presence is discovered. With the bird perched on his shoulders, he manages to reach the street, and they are amazed to see the bird suddenly spread its wings, so that Polidor is carried safely oat of the reach of his enemies.
