A wealthy Frenchman dumps water on a young flamenco dancer after boarding a train and proceeds to tell his fellow passengers of their tale of unrequited love. He hired her as a maid, and she allows him to chase her despite seemingly never intending to be his lover. Inspired by the book "La Femme et le pantin" by Pierre Louÿs.
