On his wedding day, a groom’s horse devours the titular straw hat belonging to a married woman having a clandestine rendezvous in the woods. To avoid a duel with her lover and allow her to return home unnoticed by her husband, the groom embarks on a frantic chase across Paris to find an identical replacement before his wedding. This madcap silent comedy, directed by René Clair, features a series of escalating misadventures and absurd encounters as the groom’s quest for the hat throws his wedding plans into utter chaos.
