The miser wants his daughter to marry some very rich man, and will not have Jack, the young man who visits his daughter. The miser is deeply interested in Darwin's theory. He is seventy-five years of age. One day Majarah and two attendants in Indian costume enter from the street. The great Lahaif Majarah of India has come to demonstrate the efficiency of his elixir of eternal youth. The miser looks at him in awe and indicates the book of Darwin's theory. The miser finds out that the East Indian has a great deal of money and valuable skins, and offers his daughter to him for part of this. The East Indian is greatly pleased. The East Indians give a meeting in the Convention Hall, demonstrating the great Elixir of Eternal Youth. The miser is brought to a chair which is connected with a pulse-meter by means of various tubes and wires. The applicants give the miser the Elixir, and there is a gradual change in the miser. The wrinkles leave his brow, his cheeks fill out, his hair changes color, and he is transformed to a man of forty. When the attendants are not looking the miser seizes the whole bottle of Elixir and drinks it, which immediately changes him from a man into an ape. The miser escapes from the house, still a monkey, and tries in vain to explain to the people who have gathered, among whom are his daughter and her lover, Jack, that he is the miser and the girl is his daughter. They think his story incredulous, and he is not believed until he shows his arm, which has a tattoo upon it, and shows them a paper which tells about the Hindoo, and his Elixir of Life. They take the ape to the Hindoo and he is restored back to his normal self, the miser. The miser is so very grateful that he is once more in his home and with his daughter that he gives all his money to the young couple. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
