Title-Metamorphosis
A man walks across his garden and goes into his green house where he puts two bags of fertiliser on the ground; one of the bags is called `Growing Media'. The man spreads it all over the floor and crumbles it up. He sits down to have a break and then has an idea; he gets a bottle of `Barkers Liquid of Life', takes a sip and then runs off at speed. He drops the bottle and an Arab man appears. When the gardener arrives back he gets a shock to see the man.
The gardener is standing in his pond in his wellingtons, clearing the leaves out of it. He comes out of the water and takes them off; the Arab sneaks up and puts them on. The gardener's wife is working in the garden and looks up to see a pair of wellingtons moving across the garden on their own. It then becomes obvious that the Arab is invisible; the gardener finds his wife's reaction very funny.
In the next scene the gardener's wife hangs out some underwear in the garden and goes back inside. The Arab comes over and pulls everything off the line and when the gardener comes over to stop him, he is caught by his wife, who chases him off.
Following this, the gardener is mowing the lawn with an electric lawn mower. He leaves unattended so that he can empty the grass out of it and the Arab takes the mower and starts to mow the lawn. The gardener's wife stops the lawn mower and walks off. Following that, the Arab plays a pipe and charms a hose into moving up in the air; the gardener chases him away.
Later when the gardener's wife is pouring tea for him and their friend, he has a thought and goes inside. He brings out a box of `Banish' tea and pours a cup for the Arab and when he drinks it he disappears.
Title-The End.
