Revenue d'un bal, une femme est déshabillée par sa femme de chambre, qui l'aide à se laver (elle verse un broc d'eau). Il y a une courte scène de nu, peut-être la première au cinéma.

Le film reprend l'essentiel de l'histoire de Cendrillon dans sa version du conte de Perrault d'une manière beaucoup plus étoffée que lors du premier film à la fois quantitativement, puisqu'il dure beaucoup plus longtemps, mais également qualitativement, les techniques ayant entre-temps considérablement évolué.

La scène s’ouvre dans le bar d’un saloon, montrant les différentes étapes de l’intoxication de ses clients. L’un des articles fabriqués est beaucoup plus sous-tendu que ses camarades et il nécessite les efforts de la police, qui est appelée par le barman, pour l’éloigner du culte de Bacchus et le conduire chez lui, où ils le laissent. Sa femme et sa fille ont pris leur retraite, et quand il arrive, elles sont réveillées de leur sommeil et le réprimandent pour son état.
