Having served a sumptuous meal the hostess announces to the guests that she has served them bull-steak. One of the guests, seeing an opportunity for some innocent amusement, appropriates a pair of mounted horns, which he attaches to his head. Consternation overcomes the party and all hasten from the room upsetting everything in their anxiety to get out of harm's way. On the street the man creates wild excitement by his actions and the police, unable to apprehend the fellow, telegraph to Spain and a "cuadrilla," a corps of bull-fighters, is sent on to Paris. A novel feature is that the message as transmitted over the wires is in full view of the audience. The humorist makes a stubborn fight, but finally gives up.

Original French title is undetermined.

Released in the US as a split reel along with L'éventail animé (1909).
