Next come some goblets which also come out of mid-air and set themselves on the table. Following this is a centerpiece, also coming out of mid-air, and some candelabras which dance. A moment later, everything disappears. The musketeer, tired after his performance, wishes to be shown a room to rest, and a moment later is soon fast asleep. No sooner has he dozed off then in sneaks Nicholas, a kitchen boy who was entranced by the performance. Without giving it a second thought, he grabs the sword and sneaks back downstairs, and into the main room. Excited to perform his own magic with the sword, he has no idea how to use it properly, and disastrous results follow. Plates come out of nowhere and fall on him, rendering him momentarily unconscious. These are followed by some pillars, and climbing on top of one, he rides around a whole circle of them, fights with them, and is bewildered by them. Soon, more plates come out of nowhere and bury him completely, causing a huge racket and waking up the musketeer, who, upon finding the sword missing, runs downstairs and finds the rest of the staff. Going into the main room, they find the foolish boy buried, and pull him out, the sword running through the back of his shirt. He is all too happy to be rid of it.

The ascent, however, is sheer and precipitous, also steep and inclined. It has no regard for knightly dignity, and manages, at the most inopportune time (for Cam) to slip from beneath the feet of the noble colt. Persistency wins the day, however, and they finally gain the summit. It is only to find that the notorious, man-eating Geewhizicuss occupies that and adjacent territory. Does Cam care?

- DirectorHarry Palmer
- DirectorJohn Randolph BrayColonel Heeza Liar doesn't need to see a battle to write it up. Not he. He sits in the trenches, his trusty typewriter on his knees and rips off "eye-witness" descriptions that would make "our special correspondent at the front" blush for shame. His success is his undoing, though. He is given a camera and has to go out on the firing line to photograph the action he so vividly describes. The old Colonel can't see his way out of this, so he just goes. Setting up his camera in fear and trembling, he lets loose on the crank and all is well until the leaden hail starts imitating a snowstorm in Alaska. The Colonel is inspired with the courage of a man who knows there's no escape, and dodges the larger shot with an almost jubilant agility. His tripod is shot from under his camera, but the Colonel keeps on cranking. Hundreds of shots, any one of which carries sweet repose, sneak through his shifty legs, under his flapping arms, through his very fingers, but still he cranks. It would be most undignified to say that the Colonel was a "crank on pictures," so we'll leave that out. Suddenly Heeza feels himself hoisted from behind by a treacherous shot, and riding a cannonball through the clouds. He lands amongst friends, though, and surprises them with his sudden terror when told he is to be "decorated" for his bravery.
