It was shot in Barcelona in 1904 and released in Spain the same year, making it the first Spanish comedy film.

[1] In a small village, a young man dressed in a grotesque fashion asks a scrivener to write for him the following notice: "The heir of the Pruna house would like to get married.

He runs away chased by the women, gets out of the property through a big gate, climbs over a wall, falls down a steep slope, steals a man's bicycle and rides away only to fall down very soon, continues running down a lane and through an orchard, before arriving at a fountain.

De Chomón transposed the action to Spain and filmed it on various locations around Horta, which has now become a district of Barcelona.

The film was considered lost until 2002 when a nitrate copy was found, with only the last seconds missing, in the archives of the Cinema Museum of Girona.
