George Méliès'in çoğu Jules Verne'e dayanarak yaptığı yüzlerce kısa filmden bu en ünlüsü, -açıkça H.G.Wells'in First Men in the Moon'undan da esinlenerek- sinema tarihinin ilk bilim kurgu filmi olarak haklı bir üne sahiptir.

The table, however, suddenly disappears much to the astonishment of the clown, who is confronted by the magician in the garb of Mephistopheles.

Satan, who has made his way into the chateau, puts the seven bags in a strong box, and makes with his hands some cabalistic motions. The miser comes into the hall and is greatly astonished to find his fortune missing. He opens the coffer and immediately the bags leap out. He gathers them up and puts them back into the coffer. When he opens it again he finds that they have been transformed into seven young girls, who rush out and chase after him, beating him unmercifully. They shut him up in the coffer from which his gold has vanished. The miser pushes open the lid of the coffer, and to his profound despair finds that both young girls and money have disappeared.
