Polidor is a somewhat effeminate young man, and has sprayed himself liberally with scent, and when he is fortunate or unfortunate enough to attract the attention of both his host's dainty daughters and his by no means dainty wife, the scent plays by no means an unimportant part in bringing about a state of affairs which promises ill for Polidor. Both the ladies get it into their heads that Polidor has made an appointment for the late hours of the evening. In the dark each seeks to locate Polidor's room by scent, unaware that the [black] servant has liberally sprayed both himself and the dog. Therefore, the girl is led to the kitchen, where the dog is sleeping in a basket, and the mother to the [black man]'s room. The head of the house, missing his wife from his side, goes in search, and encounters Polidor on the landing. There are high words, but Polidor's assurance that the daughter is the object of his affections pacifies everybody, and all join in laughter at the mistakes to which the scent has given rise.
