Synopsis | A man discovers a metal that when cut in two remains connected even though it appears that there is empty space between the parts. He fashions two hoops and starts a magic act where anything he tosses through the one hoop pops out the other no matter how far away from each other they are. An audience member discovers his secret and forces him into criminal acts. The thief steals jewels and throws them into the hoop so that the man at the other end must collect the loot. When the thief gives the man a hammer and wood to construct a crate to hold all of the loot, he places the hoop inside the crate and breaks down the door he had been imprisoned behind. He confronts the thief and the thief attempts to escape through his hoop but finds himself inside the sealed crate on the way to the penitentiary. |
