Bud, however, awakens when Pasquale. his daughter Rosa and their monkey pass the spot. While Pasquale sits down to rest himself, Bud and Rosa take a walk. Ham dreams that he and Bud see a hypnotist performing wonderful feats. At Ham's request, the hypnotist turns Bud into a monkey, and then back to his human form. Ham learns the trick and changes his pal into a monkey, but finds himself unable to bring him back to his normal self. Weeping bitter tears, Ham leads the monk away on a string. Just at this time, Pasquale's monk escapes from its master and wanders over to Ham. Waking up, Ham sees the animal sitting where Bud had been. Sure that his dream has come true, Ham is heartbroken. He vainly tries to turn the monkey into Bud. Pasquale wakes up and looks for his pet. Seeing the animal in Ham's possession, he tries to get it back.
