在这部纸牌纪录片/短片片中,三个人在玩纸牌,他们是安东尼·卢米埃尔,他的好友特莱威,酿酒商阿·温克勒。这三个胖子都把肥大的脚踏在地上,身体占据了大半个银幕。后景是一些栽种在盆里的棕榈树。在纸牌游戏的过程中,温克勒倒啤酒;安东尼·卢米埃尔燃起雪茄,口中喷出烟圈;路易·卢米埃尔的仆人费洛则满脸堆笑,样子看上去十分诙谐,一会把手臂举向天空为主人的牌局叫好,一会儿又手拍臀部好像为主人着急。纸牌游戏结束后,其中一个玩纸牌者将赢得的钱装进自己的口袋。
Two men are playing a friendly game of cards, while a third man sits at the same table and watches them. As the game proceeds, a waiter brings a tray with a bottle and some glasses. The spectator pours the drinks, while the waiter turns his attention to the game, which he finds quite entertaining.
