- Summary
- Two clowns assemble a box which shows films (a magic lantern). The projected images become the faces of the two clowns who are joined by an acrobatic dancer, two lovers (a woman in travesty plays the man), a corps de ballet in tutus, and finally a "puppet" that stretches. A group of comic watchmen are also involved.
