A young woman and her maid go for a stroll in the park. The maid goes away, and the girl, siting alone in her folding bank, starts feeling the effects of the heat. After a look around to make sure that she is alone, she strips naked, and has a refreshing bath. While she is at it, a middle-aged couple approaches and decides to rob the girl’s clothes.

A policeman wearing a white casket appears before the girl can dress, and she runs away, hunted by the policeman. Read More »
