At an evening soiree attended by two couples, a conjuror (Booth) demonstrates his powers by removing his top hat, placing it on a table and causing it to rise towards the ceiling. He then indicates that the couples should stand before making himself disappear. The couples leap in the air, and in an instant they appear upside-down, standing on the ceiling. There, they explore their new-found freedom by performing various acrobatic and tumbling manoeuvres.
