An untalented bald actor wants to receive the leading parts in plays so he goes to a witchman for a potion that will help him. The witchman tells him that he does have such a potion but does not want to give it to him, because it is too dangerous. The actor is heedless and pulls a gun on him. The witchman relents and gives the actor the potion, but the actor finds that after drinking it he can only find work as a circus freak because his hair grows so quickly.
