Drunk with wine, and unhappy with their picnic desserts, they allow their whimsical jaunt in the countr becomess a dubious quest for an eclair. Upset by a milkmaid, frustrated with the peasant class, and chased out of a village on the backs of pigs, this duo's antics make The Elusive Chocolate Eclair a memorable comedy!
