A damsel passes, and appears to invite him to follow. He forgets all about his errand and dogs her footsteps, until he is set upon by three ruffians, confederates of the charmer, who soon possess themselves of the money which is to pay for the wine. More than that, they tattoo Polidor's face, and when he gets home he finds he cannot wash the marks off. He decides to pose as the Indian visitor, and, with a sheepskin rug thrown round him, some hen's feathers stuck in his hair, and his face covered with soot, he dashes into the dining-room with a fearful yell. His frightened parents fly to the drawing-room. Polidor follows, but the farce is ended with the announcement of the real Mr. Rebb, and Polidor is soundly beaten and pushed into the street to reflect on the failure of his stratagem.
