Man Monkey
About Man Monkey
A bald man orders a hair lotion. The bottle is left at the concierge's lodge. The concierge drinks most of it, thinking it is wine, and fills the bottle with water. His wife takes the rest upstairs. He goes to bed ill and wakes covered in hair. He and his wife then sell the look as a music-hall turn. The French title is La vérité sur l'homme-singe.
