At the edge of a beach, a couple sits; the woman falls asleep. He, who has seen a pretty bather, hastens to wait for her at the end of the bath and to court her. A photographer takes pictures: 1. The gentleman who joins the lady after coming out of the water. 2. The gentleman who kisses the lady's hand. 3. He ties the strings of his shoe to her. 4. He throws himself at his feet. 5. He takes her by the waist. 6. He tries to look inside a cabin. The gentleman returns to his wife who is still sleeping. As they leave, they stop at a postcard seller. Madame comes across the series where her husband appears with the bather. She then delivers a direct volley to her unfaithful husband.
