Felix’s master practices magic and plays tricks on Felix. Felix dares his master to transform into a mouse, then knocks him out and steals the book. On his own, Felix practices some tricks, then tries to help an artist paint by magic. A painted bear chases Felix into the painting, where he fights a lion, a stork, and a hippo with magic. He turns the hippo into a car to drive home (somehow escaping the painting -- it’s never explained!), where his irate master reclaims the book, reassumes human form, puts Felix under the spell and kicks him away.
