A magician catches a bug, which he throws into a brazier he has conjured up. From the brazier emerges a woman with shimmering wings. The brazier disappears and is replaced by a water fountain. The winged woman disappears. The magician crawls around on the floor as the water turns into fireworks, and then into a spinning wheel of fire. The magician leaps and twirls, and the woman reappears in the spinning wheel. When the fireworks end, two handmaidens appear and, as the woman chases the magician, they bring the brazier back. They fling the magician into it, and it bursts into flame. Her handmaidens stand to the side as the winged woman hovers above the smoking brazier.
