Gigetta Morano is on her way to catch her husband in flagrant delicate, but her father, Camillo De Riso, wants a quieter end to the marriage. When she flirts with a Russian diplomat, he sees a way to get his way.
De Riso was a popular comic actor of the era, born in Naples, and quite skilled at being amusing in silent pictures. He frequently directed himself, both in short subjects and features. He died in 1924, 69 years old.
Although this short is a little title heavy -- De Rise was too old and stout for slapstick -- his playing of the character is charming, and the lightning-fast reactions of Miss Morano are very appropriate for a not-again-papa relationship.
