Kri-Kri is a chronic late-comer. His wife and mother-in-law have established a very severe curfew, and to miss it means to be locked out of the house. Kri-Kri tries hard to be punctual for supper, but despite the alarm clock he carries with him, and pushing and elbowing passers-by on his way home, he arrives late. As usual, all that remains to him is ingenuity to revenge himself on his inflexible relations.
