The young Max left, like a chick, spends at the fair of the throne the few pieces pierced by his mother, when he stops, seized, in front of a barracks where a superb bearded woman parades. He opens such hypnotized eyes that the clown Pipalasse engages him in his troop. Wearing a bear skin, Max is trained as Martin. But soon, O disillusionment, our young first discovers that beard of his idol was false. Heartbroken, he fled, wearing his bear skin, sowing fear in his path. Pursued, distraught, he finally arrives at his parent's home. Sheltered from the paternal roof, he strips off his bear skin and swears that he will not be taken back.
