He calls on Jack Dalton, who is in love with his daughter, to assist him. Jack consents, providing the professor consents to the marriage of himself and May. The professor agrees to this arrangement. The great day is at hand and before the faculty of the college the professor states he will now mesmerize Jack and then himself, claiming that after the bodies are in a cataleptic condition the spirits leave the body and commune together and after a time nature will resume her sway and the spirits will return to their respective bodies, but strange and unforeseen complications arise and the spirits, instead of returning to their respective bodies, get mixed. Jack's spirit enters the body of the professor and the professor's enters the body of Jack. Hence the boisterous manner of the professor and the dignified manner of the young student, Jack. The unforeseen circumstances happening create a tremendous howl. At last the professor finally gets Jack and rights the wrong by again mesmerizing Jack and himself and the natural spirits return to their respective bodies.
