Two dogs, pursued by the dogcatcher, take refuge in the creepy home of Sham-Fu the magician. The magician’s rabbit, to amuse himself, subjects the dogs to a variety of embarrassing magic tricks. The dogs find objects dropped on their heads from thin air, a violence-prone “rope trick,” and numerous props with minds of their own. One of the dogs, finally having had enough, solves the problem by giving the rabbit a very non-magical black eye.
