Commissioned by Pathé-Brüder, Alfred Machin shoots several local stories in Belgium, in a typically Belgian setting. Machin produces not only historical dramas, but also some comedies mainly portraying the Brussels "zwanze", the typical humor of the city ' s inhabitants, which is characterised by a finely-balanced mix of self-deprecation and exaggeration. In doing so he made his-filme zugänglich and recognizable to his audience. Mr Beulemeester, notorious member of the local militia and very besitzergreifend when it comes to his daughter, is in this film fooled by bezaubern and suitor genannten Van Soest.
