Street scene, palatial residence front. From the door there emerges a man who, not taking notice where he goes in his haste, treads on the corn of a pedestrian coming in the opposite direction. He seemingly apologizes, and looks back at the man holding his foot. This looking back proves fatal, for he bumps into another pedestrian, and goes on his way leaving the two to console one another and vow vengeance.
