The owner of one rich house cannot get to work in any way, since the gas stove has deteriorated, and he cannot have breakfast. At this time, an upholsterer arrives at the house on a cart, which is pulled by his poor fellow assistant. The landlady tells the workers in detail what she wants from them, and they begin to work. However, the work is not progressing too much: the assistant is constantly distracted either by a naked figurine or by a pretty maid, which leads to a series of comedic episodes. The situation finally gets out of control when a mistress of the mistress of the house appears, thinking that her husband has already left for work.
