Men expose a fake medium's tricks and take
revenge. This is a well-constructed film for 1906. Action is continuous across
five scenes, and the transition between interiors to exteriors is fluid. There
are even some brief tracking shots at the end, which is noticeable because not
many of the remaining films from Paul's Animatograph Works displays a mobile
camera. Besides, today, we can view this as a weird early film; for that, it's
somewhat interesting in itself.
