A film, very amusing, showing a countryman with a most tempting dinner before him, which he is unable to touch. The table, the dishes and the chairs change about continually. Finally the waiter who has served the dinner draws the cover with a quick jerk, and the whole affair flies into the air and bursts into pieces to the great astonishment of the unfortunate diner.
