Short summary

Old Herr Reuter, retired bachelor, is smitten with a widow. He declares his love but is rebuffed. Unbaffled by his poor success. Reuter engages the services of a young fellow of charming appearance to win and woo the widow for him, under the pose of his nephew. The supposed nephew makes rapid headway and soon wins the widow's heart, to such an extent that it is impossible to get her to transfer her affections to Herr Reuter. Chagrined, the latter orders his employee to leave, only to find that things have advanced too far and that the widow refuses to let her sweetheart get away from her without marriage. Thus the widow, Reuter's supposed nephew, and all the other guests of the hotel, have the laugh on the old gentleman.

Original French title is undetermined.

Released in the US as a split reel along with the comedy Bébé et son âne (1911).
