Bout de Zan et l'embusqué (Bout de Zan and the Shirker) is a 1915 short silent film by Louis Feuillade.

Louis Feuillade directed between 1912 and 1916 about sixty short films with Bout de Zan, a little boy played by René Poyen, as a recurring hero.

[1] France during World War I: Bout de Zan is irritated by his uncle's friend Marius always bragging about his shooting skills.

When Marius bets that he will shoot a small bird in a tree, Bout de Zan finds out that he has paid a boy to drop a dead bird from the tree against which he will shoot a blank.

Bout de Zan has the dead bird replaced by a stuffed one accompanied by a note saying that rather than lying he should go and fight the Germans.
