Der Neger, der von der Weltausstellung nachhause gebracht wird und, irrsinnig geworden vom Heimweh, mitten in seinem Dorf unter dem Wehklagen des Stammes mit ernstestem Gesicht als Überlieferung und Pflicht die Späße aufführt, welche das europäische Publikum als Sitten und Gebräuche Afrikas entzückten.
