Synopsis

The amorous advances of a kitchen cook cause a waitress to drop an entire stack of porcelain dishes, which break on the floor. To escape the manager's wrath, the naughty cook hides in a cupboard; however, when he unwisely sticks his head out from the door it leads to an unforeseen punishment.[1]
