A Curious Invention
Director:
Year: 1910
Plot: A clever scientist discovers the secret of setting back the hands of time, and invents a powder which when placed upon persons and things causes them to go back to an earlier state. He first experiments with a hen which is successively changed to a little chicken and then to an egg. Next his wife from a middle-aged woman is transposed back to when she was eighteen, an electric chandelier to an old-fashioned oil lamp, a handsome automobile to a donkey chaise and a bullock to a calf. On arriving home he finds his wife with an admirer, and forgetting that his gun is loaded with these peculiar bullets, he fires at them both, changing them back to children. At a loss what to do, he fires on himself so that he also may be of an equal age.—Moving Picture World synopsis
