An attendant places a human skeleton on a table. The skeleton turns into a magician after the attendant leaves. An egg appears and he draws a human face on the egg, as it grows into a normal head. The head of a pretty girl forms as two more of the same head appear on each side. All three heads produce the head of a hobgoblin and then is shaped back into an egg. The magician ends up swallowing the egg.
