As the title indicates, this is about a couple of geishas who get into rickshaws and take off for parts unknown.
It's shot by Gabriel Veyre, one of the Lumiere's representatives who went around the world exhibiting films, setting up local theaters for their exhibition, and while they were there, shooting some local scenes for the catalogue. Veyre had shot a movie of two samurai -- actors, really -- at swordplay a couple of years earlier, but it might have been a traveling troupe that was present elsewhere; with the opening of Japan, the West had gone mad for Japanese things. This looks like it was shot in Japan.
