Summary

Pathe synopsis: If you were on a diet of brown bread, porridge and vitamin pills, and someone gave you 40 eggs, you would probably eat them. But to struggling artist Francis Plummer (apart from testing his willpower) they are an essential part of his work, for he paints by the egg tempera method. A talented young man, whose work is almost good enough to eat.
