- An establishing shot shows a grand gray stone palace and a man seated in a fancy parlor with two male servants in the background. A salesman is explaining the difference between two models of car.
- The man, Gaston Lachaille, stands and removes his coat. His servant dresses him in a new one, while an accountant tells him that a new purchase has already brought profits.
- Gaston seems unimpressed, and tells the salesman he doesn't care which model of car, whatever.
