As baggage is checked in, that baggage moves by itself to a room where it opens itself, revealing lots of brushes that now move out. A man and a woman sit down. Then the man's boot unbuckles by itself. With the boot off, a brush moves itself up and down on the front end. The woman's coat comes off by itself, followed by the woman's hair receiving a thorough brushing - also by itself - and subsequently her hair ties itself into a bun. Following those actions is a scene of a man in front of a wall full of electrical switches. As he pulls one large switch down, the scene cuts to various chairs and other furniture moving in chaotic ways as the short ends.
