Hortense a dit ‘je m'en fous'

 

Monsieur Follbraguet, a dentist, has just finished treating Monsieur Vildamour when he has to confront his furious wife who refuses to tolerate her rude and disrespectful ‘femme de chambre' (Hortense) any longer and demands that she be dismissed instantly. A quarrel between husband and wife ensues which is punctuated by the comical comings and goings of a mixture of discontented servants and suffering patients.
