Summary

A commercial promoting Abadie medicinal cigarette tubes.

Synopsis

Death goes hunting and sees a man smoking a cigarette. It points a gun at him and shoots, but the shot does not harm the smoker. It tries to throw bombs at him, but again fruitlessly. It grips its own scull and flings it at the smoker but the man keeps cool and smoking. Death approaches him, inhales the pleasant odour of the Abadie cigarette and lights one, too.

Note

The film materials are believed lost.
