A short comedy film with a man enjoying a picnic, he discovers a wishbone in his sandwich so he makes a wish. Suddenly an inept wizard appears and after several attempts grants him his wish of turning water into petrol He does this on the understanding that the man does not sell the magic wand. On the journey home the man meets a fellow motorist that has run out of petrol. He shows him the magic wand which the motorist buys only for the man to discover it was the wizard after all! He then makes his car disappear.
