The young man is told by his father that he can have all the money he wants if he marries the ugly girl of dad's choice. So he has girlfriend Lea Giunchi shipped in as a life-sized mechanical doll to break things up.
The story doesn't make much sense, but Signorina Giunchi is lovely and charming and very funny playing the doll in a comedy short that anticipates Lubitsch's DIE POPPE by a few years.
Lea Giunchi had a nice career, with sizable roles in the 1913 version of QUO VADIS? And many comedy shorts. She even directed a few of them. She retired from the screen in 1919.
