Puck, the mischievous sprite, has somehow failed to get an invitation and he proceeds to revenge himself for the seeming slight by tormenting the gnomes. They try to catch him, but he is too nimble-footed. His success makes him a little reckless, and in a daring moment they finally do capture him, only to find he has transformed himself into a white rabbit. When they think they will cook the rabbit for the banquet he suddenly becomes himself again, and laughing, eludes them. Then comes the fairy troop and there are dances, dainty, half-seen, fairylike dances, which end when Puck, who seems possessed that the festivities are not to proceed peacefully, darts in among the revelers and upsets things again. He is gone before they realize who the disturber is. We next see the discovery that he has hidden away the honey and overturned all the leafy plates of the banquet table. The feast is spoiled and the gnomes dash off to find the little mischief-maker. In trying to elude them in the forest he runs into the midst of the mystic circle and is caught and brought before the king. The queen pleads for mercy and Puck, won by her sweetness, kneels in loving loyalty again. Then suddenly, as the dances begin he sees afar the coming of the Dawn Fairy. It is time for all good fairies to vanish, which feat is duly accomplished before our eyes. Then the gnomes drowsily slip away. Puck curls up under a fern and falls fast asleep, and the Dawn Fairy slowly becomes visible to us as the story ends. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
