What happens

Trois sous de poireaux è un cortometraggio del 1906 diretto da Georges Hatot. Boireau è un ubriaco abitudinario. Sua moglie che sta preparando la cena, lo incarica per prendergli i tre porri che gli mancano per preparare il pot-au-feu. Boireau è pentito ma la tentazione è troppo forte per via dei troppi commercianti di vino. Dopo aver comprato i porri, arriva a casa che li ha quasi persi tutti. La moglie diventa furiosa, e tutti e due incominciano a picchiarsi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
