Cinema advertisement for Colman's Mustard.



On a stormy night a man enters a house in darkness, climbing through a window
into the kitchen. He knocks over a milk jug and wakes the owners of the house,
who cower in their bed. The woman makes her husband get up and investigate,
which he does with much reluctance. He finds the intruder and discovers that
it is only a neighbour come to borrow some mustard for a bath to help his
wife's cold. The neighbour leaves but the man piles up the family silver so
that his wife thinks that he has chased off a real burglar. She lavishes
praise on him, as next door the neighbour prepares his wife a mustard bath.
The next day at dinner the man discovers that there is no mustard in
the pot for his dinner. His wife rings for the maid, who asks the cook, who
discovers that the mustard has gone. The neighbour and his cured wife appear
at the window with the mustard, revealing that the man has lied about the
burglar. His wife calls him a worm, and leaves him very upset. He is cheered
up by the maid arriving with the newly made mustard, "All is right with the
world, so long as I have my mustard."
