"Jean", a young traveller is invited to lunch by an elderly, rather course, nobleman whereupon he meets the man's much younger wife. After a brief tour of their estate, she declares her undying love for him. To test her devotions, he sets her three tasks... This is quite entertaining - based on the old Chinese tale; but the standard of the animation is not great.
