Summary

Pathe synopsis: We see a grinning mechanical man - just one of the working works of art created by "Professor" Bruce Lacey. His world is inhabited by beings of the future, developed from the junk he’s been collecting from the past. He’s had the distinction of having a leading gallery exhibit his creations and, now, the Americans have imported him in the same spirit that they import quaint old English customs.
