The wizard goes with the lover to the council chamber, where the monarch is sitting in state, surrounded by all his courtiers. When the old magician states the nature of his mission the obdurate old King orders him from his sight. But not to be thwarted so easily, he tells the King that he will bring down the maledictions of the spirits on him, and hereafter he will receive a beating from ghosts every time the clock strikes until he gives his consent to the marriage. The old King does not heed the warning, and retires to his private chamber, and as the clock strikes two he receives his first beating from the supernatural beings. He is at a great banquet when they again attack him and spread terror among the guests, who flee for their lives when they see the King and his valet receiving a terrible thrashing. Everything is upset and broken and the King is left to himself among the ruins. He goes to the kitchen to give orders and while there he is again attacked, and everything is in an uproar as the spooks belabor him with knives and forks. Finally he goes to his bed chamber, and, after getting patched up, he retires. He has just fallen asleep when the ghosts visit him again and drag him out of bed and throw him on the floor. When the attendants rush to his assistance they find everything in chaos, and the King and the valet nearly dead from the experience. The former, seeing that there is no use in battling with the supernatural powers, summons the wizard and the young lover to his council chamber and gladly gives his consent to the marriage. The happy young couple receives his blessing, while old Mr. Wizard looks on triumphantly. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
