- As if by magic, a weary traveller trying to undress, is foiled by his mutinous clothes as they teleport and multiply before his eyes, refusing to stay on the clothing rack.
- To escape the manager's wrath, a naughty cook who caused a small disaster with his amorous advances to a delicious waitress, hides in a wooden cupboard and suffers an immediate and unforeseen punishment. But, is this truly the end?
- From the depths of a plain wooden box, a skilful conjurer materializes a lively boy in a clown suit. Next, he takes a heavy battle-axe. What are his intentions?
- Showing the rolling sea, upon which gradually appears a cloud of mist. From this evolves the figure of Christ, who proceeds to walk on the waves. The rolling movement of the water and the sudden apparition certainly give a most startling effect, illustrating the biblical miracle of Christ walking on the water.
- Falling into the same perplexing predicament that doomed the hapless travellers in Going to Bed with Difficulties (1900), and The Bewitched Inn (1897), an unsuspecting man is harassed by an annoying poltergeist. Can he outsmart it?
- A prestidigitator orders his assistant to bring a cabinet, which is displayed piece by piece to the audience. Two gentlemen are then introduced; they enter the cabinet and are securely bound with ropes to the chairs. The doors are closed and immediately the heads of the two men appear through apertures in the doors. The doors are immediately thrown wide open and the men are disclosed bound to the chairs as securely as at first. From this moment the most amusing scenes are enacted without interruption. The poor prestidigitator even loses his head, which is found upon a stool, while his body has been struggling in the most amusing way.
- The scene opens in a wizard's cavern, showing an inanimate figure resting against a table. The wizard with some mysterious passes converts her into a living woman, and after laying her on some trestles and covering her over with a large sheet of paper, saws her in halves. Taking the two cones of paper he places them on separate tables, when, on being removed, they disclose two ladies in the place of the one who has been cut in half. From the same receptacle he then proceeds to materialize six other beautiful damsels, who, after performing a mazy dance, vanish into thin air. The two maidens that remain are then duplicated and put through the most amazing complications, being merged into one person, and again duplicated; finally, however, they walk to the front of the stage together with the wizard, and, after bowing to the spectators, withdraw.
