The copy of this short comedy had a note saying it was incomplete. Clément Mégé has a new job, and is in a rush to get there, but every means of transportation he tries fails: horses, taxicab.... they're no good. Need I go into details that the film lacks for such an astute and learned bunch of afficiandos? Have we not all seen Harold Lloyd do this time and again? Well, imagine an oddly-dressed Harold who fails.
Mégé was the first of the slapstick stars for Gaumont, and he started out under the direction of Romeo Bosetti. Eventually, both moved on. After 1916, Bosetti fought in the First World War and was wounded and never seems to have worked in the movies again. He died in 1948.
