Plot

A stranger arrives in a small town, costumed as a flamboyant itinerant magician with a folding bag of tricks. The eccentric behaviour of "Napoleon", as he becomes known, soon gives him a reputation for harmless, flamboyant buffoonery. After ten days in town, he visits a businessman, Mr. Latham. Latham is known to keep regular hours and the stranger bedevils him with irritating magic tricks. The last of these tricks leaves Latham handcuffed in his office.
