Andre Deed in the persona of a juvenile Boireau, has two ambitions: to get along with pretty schoolgirl Valentina Frascaroli. and to punch his teacher in the head. The latter gets him tossed in the school's dungeon.
It's another of the chaotic and high-energy slapstick that the Europeans loved in this era. Deed was a popular short-form comedy player until about 1916, and would return to films occasionally until just before his death in 1940 at age 61.
