Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? This is a story of La Fontaine's, of a king who, becoming lost in the woods, accepts the hospitality of the woodchopper, who in return asks to be shown the king at the coming country fair, not knowing that his guest is Henry IV himself. To tell the balance of the story would be to spoil the effect of the film; let it suffice that the whole is exceedingly interesting and the ending a surprise.
