L'errore del policeman (c1910)

Synopsis (spoilers!): A woman's husband goes out on a trip but misses his train. Another man takes the opportunity to court the woman, but is rejected by her. The woman's daughter has a fiancé who is a cop; he is asked to expell the unwanted suitor from the house. Meanwhile the husband enters the house, returning from his aborted trip. The policeman thinks that he is the suitor and throws him out of the house. Meanwhile the suitor is hiding. The husband reenters his house hiding inside a clothes' trunk. He is threatened to be expelled again but his wife comes in time to straighten things out.
Appraisal: Unremarkable yet watchable.
Note: This is a French film whose French title is apparently unknown.
