...which Charlot is to feign death, as though he had been killed in a drunken brawl. Genevote is to agree to marry Granger on condition of being allowed to go through the marriage ceremony with a supposed corpse first, and at the proper time Charlot is to resuscitate. Paquier has overheard the scheme, and the plan fails.
