Porcelain manufacturer Monsieur Follavoine hopes to secure a lucrative contract to sell chamberpots to the Ministry of War for use by the French army. However, on the morning when Monsieur Chouilloux from the Ministry pays him a visit to inspect the merchandise, his son Toto (Sacha Tarride), who is referred to as 'Baby', is refusing to take a laxative. In the ensuing drama Toto's mother ends up trying to get their client Chouilloux to have some of the laxative in order to encourage 'Baby' to take some. Oh dear!

Interesting medium-length piece by Jean Renoir, director of the marvellous classics La petite marchande d'allumettes, La Grande illusion and La Marseillaise. Humour rather laboured.
