The Infernal Cake-Walk
Directed by Georges Méliès
Produced by Star Film
A whimsical early trick film that delights in the surreal spectacle of dancers performing the cake-walk in an infernal setting, driven by visual novelty and playful absurdity.
Pluto, having seen the earth, comes back home amazed at the success of that well-known dance, the "cake-walk." He has brought back with him two noted well-known dancers, who start their favorite dance amidst the flames.
