The secretary is called away from the machine and the Clown starts to investigate it. Reading the letter still in the machine and grasping its significane, he proceeds to jump up and down on the letter X until he has greatly increased the age of the young lady. Upon receipt of the letter she rushes to the oflfice to upbraid Max for his (apparent) heartlessness, and arrives just as Max is trying to assist his secretary to get the Clown out of her hair, where he has secreted himself.

Max in his embarrassment shrinks from life size to that of the Clown, who immediately proceeds to engage him in a sparring match and put him to flight.
