Trama
Una vedova bianca e la sua governante nera si arricchiscono con la formula di una farina per frittelle, di cui è depositaria la governante, che, come solo compenso, chiede per sé un funerale in grande stile. La figlia della donna bianca ama il futuro patrigno e quella della donna nera si vergogna della sua stirpe.
