    A host and hostess decide that meat from a bull is cheaper than ordinary beef, so they use it at their dinner party. One of their members goes mad, puts on a pair of bull horns like an arrow-through-the-head set-up and attacks everything: men, ladies, pantomime horses...

    It's a one-joke comedy. That was standard for the era, and at less than six minutes, it's certainly bearable. In fact, it's more than bearable, what with the variety of victims the maddened mangeur des taureaux attacks, and the means taken to deal with this problem.

    I don't know how popular bull steak is; the principal reason the beef we eat is from a steer is that otherwise it would be too tough for anything except stew. Instead of beef, it is my understanding they eat horses in France.
