Summary

Pathe synopsis: When a member of the Magic Circle takes to keeping a cafe, you can be sure that your meals will be, well, unusual. Coffee is made by tapping a pot; toast by passing a torch under a paper bag; and if the gas fails, proprietor Sydney Emons just breathes fire and does his own cooking.
