English Suzanne Grandais is on a voyage to Sorrento with a couple of fuddy-fuddy relatives whose idea of a good time is to sit, muffled up, on deck chairs, and read. In her explorations of the ship she encounters French Léonce Perret, who finds her charming. Whereupon her relatives rise from their chairs to save her virtue. But all is not lost for the young couple.
It's one of hundreds of short subjects Perret would direct and often star in during the first half of the 1910s. He would essay comedies and tragedies in great variety, eschewing only the knockabout farces that people nowadays associate with film making in this era. He would continue as a director until his death in 1935 at the age of 55.
