In a room labelled "English School under the management of Miss Blackford," four French policemen and their chief are practicing English words. Miss Blackford, writing "What a fair fish" on her blackboard, tells one of the policemen to translate it into French; his attempt is "Va te faire fiche." The process repeats, with "Very well thank you" translated as "Manivelle St. Cloud." Miss Blackford, holding up a placard reading "Conversation," lets in four young English ladies; the policemen and ladies court each other fervently.Comments

Deux couseurs et une cardeuse travaillent à la fabrication de matelas, puis s’en vont déjeuner. Un homme mal fagoté et apparemment ivre arrive alors, s'agite et se roule dans le tas de rembourrage, puis se cache dans une enveloppe de matelas qui attendait d'être cousue. Les trois ouvriers reviennent et cousent le matelas, ce qui coince sans qu’ils le sachent l’homme ivre à l’intérieur. Un ouvrier plante ensuite une aiguille sur la partie où l’homme est endormi, ce qui a pour effet de le faire se lever et bouger dans tous les sens, toujours enfermé dans le matelas, à la grande frayeur des trois autres personnes présentes. Les passants partent également en courant. Il se rend alors dans un café, « Vinasse », et fait fuir de peur le personnel et les clients. On appelle un policier, qui se bat avec l'homme-matelas, et réussit sans le vouloir à l’en sortir, mais cela créé un grand désordre dans l’établissement. L'homme écrase ensuite le policier sous une masse de meubles et se met à boire. Le film se termine avec la mention : « À votre santé / Good health / Prosit, !!! ». L'ivrogne apparaît enfin seul sur un fond noir, riant, avec verre et bouteilles dans les bras.
