Synopsis
L’image s’ouvre montrant un homme en costume de soirée complet. Enlevant son chapeau et sa cape d’opéra, il laisse le chapeau sur la table et, par quelques passages, lui donne d’immenses proportions. Avant d’augmenter la taille du chapeau, il en prend une nappe, des serviettes, des couteaux et des fourchettes, ainsi que quelques plats. Ensuite, le chapeau est augmenté en taille et il en prend plusieurs chaises, après quoi les invités sont produits à partir du même chapeau, composé de deux hommes et deux femmes. Ils s’assoient à la table et se mettent à manger des bonnes choses fournies, lorsque le prestidigitateur saute en arrière sur la table, et dans l’excitation tout disparaît, le laissant comme il était avant avec le chapeau haut d’origine. La scène est si drôle que les images sur le mur prennent vie et semblent apprécier la situation à un point tel qu’elles tombent presque. Une fois que tout est redressé, le magicien s’incline hors de l’image.Actors

A traveler, complete with riding boots and a pith helmet, arrives in a small hotel room. When he puts his luggage on the bed, it disappears immediately. Further magical confusions follow: when he sets down his helmet, it jumps to the floor and moves of its own accord before disappearing in its turn; when the traveler tries to light a candle, it jumps across the room and explodes; when he takes off his coat, it flies through the wall; when he tries to sit down, his chair changes place. Finally managing to sit down, the traveler takes off his boots, which walk away; when the traveler moves to the night table, it too disappears. The traveler prepares for bed and takes off his trousers, which fly through the ceiling. When he jumps into bed, it too disappears and reappears. The perplexed and irritated traveler gives up and dashes out of the room.

Pierrot emerges from the box and takes a seat, when suddenly a banquet appears on the table, but it vanishes along with the table and chair before he can eat.

Lifting a half finished bust onto a pedestal he prepares to set to work on it with a hammer and chisel only for it to come to life and snatch his tools from him. He attempts to embrace the sculpture only for it to disappear and reappear in a variety of poses. Finally the Elizabethan man reappears to kick him in the rump.
