Cinq jeunes gens, apparemment tous de bonnes familles, déjeunent dans un grand salon, servis par deux domestiques. Au-dessus de la cheminée, un portrait de femme que l’hôte désigne comme étant celui de sa mère. La table ayant été dressée pour six personnes, il explique à ses amis qu’il a imaginé, pour les divertir, d’inviter le premier passant qui acceptera de venir partager avec eux leur repas. Rires d'acquiescement. L’un des jeunes disparaît quelques secondes puis revient, tirant par le bras un pauvre vieillard qui proteste et veut repartir. Mais tous s’y mettent et le vieil homme est assis de force, débarrassé de son chapeau, et accepte finalement de trinquer avec eux. Un intertitre (carton noir) sert d’ellipse temporelle et indique qu’après le repas, l’heure est venue des bonnes histoires. L’un des jeunes termine une plaisanterie qui fait rire toute la table. On presse l’invité surprise à raconter une histoire de son cru. Un carton indique qu’il leur annonce le récit de sa vie.
