Princess Nicotine; or, The Smoke Fairy

Directed by J. Stuart Blackton

Produced by Vitagraph Company of America

A whimsical, visually inventive silent fantasy built on stop-motion magic and playful mischief between a smoker and mischievous fairies.

A smoker falls asleep, and two mischievious fairies play with his pipe. He discovers this, and imprisons them in a cigar box. He removes a flower from the box, which contains a fairy smoking a cigarette. Next, he leaves briefly while his smoking paraphenalia clears itself from the table and the flower reassembles itself into a cigar. He lights the cigar, then breaks a bottle containing the fairy, who interacts with him in various ways reeling from his cigar smoke, building a bonfire that he extinguishes, etc.
