Although we are led to believe that the ancient
alchemists were all powerful, this picture somewhat reverses the order of
things. The clown plays some wonderful pranks on the old professor. He appears
in numerous startling positions, using his club with great effect and always
escaping punishment. At last the alchemist brings his magic power into use, and
calling two hooded assistants, orders a large cauldron brought in. The climax,
by which the clown finally disposes of the alchemist, is startling in the
extreme.
