Georges Melies covers his female assistant with a blanket. When she is uncovered, she disappears. Melies lifts a barrel on a table to the left of him and the woman reappears. He carries her in his arms where she turns to confetti. He then covers himself with a blanket and disappears, then the barrel lifts and there he is! He jumps off table and turns into his assistant when he lands. She goes back on table and becomes Georges again when he lands! He then goes back on table where he disappears in a puff of smoke! The end. Interesting Melies short which, in the version I saw, had vintage 1906 music by the Edison Concert Band. Worth a look if you're a Melies fan.
