Chez le Pharmacien -
A programme for those interested in brushing up their French
Script by Emile Harven and M. J. MacDonald
Helen and Peter Lamb have arrived in Paris to catch the night train to Marseilles. As they are going to the South of France, they think it would be a good thing to get something to keep off mosquitoes. While they are at the chemist's, Peter remembers that they have left their sponge behind at Rouen. Unfortunately, the essential words fail them.
