Miss Theodor
Baron Dandy has a weakness for young girls. Almost every day he stands in front of the local housekeeping school and waits for the bell to ring so he can admire the flocks of female students. Grete in particular seems to have caught his eye and he follows her every day on the journey home. One day, Grete has enough of her old stalker and her older brother offers to teach Baron Dandy a lesson. Dressed as a woman, “Miss Theodor” seduces the sleazy baron, who unwittingly trudges deeper and deeper into the lion’s den. (Stumfilm.dk)
