From an early science fiction/fantasy type silent film about a trip to the moon. Early examples of special effects. A group of wizards or astronomers with beards, long robes and pointy hats meet in a chamber with a telescope and globes. The leader stands on a podium and talks to the group. Some arguing ensues. The leader seems to finally convince the group to follow his objectives. The men in the front row shake hands and change out of their robes and change into vests, frock coats and top hats. They grab umbrellas and leave the room.
