The Inexhaustible Wardrobe (1902): A man and a woman go into a clothing shop. The woman says she only needs "one or two things" but then tries on an enormous array of dresses as the man looks on in disbelief.

She announces "I can't - I haven't got a thing to wear!". The man looks at the camera in disbelief.

The Inexhaustible Wardrobe (1902): The "Inexhaustible Wardrobe" of the title is a new wonder product being advertised, a body-covering suit that could be adjusted, reversed, shortened, layered and so forth to be worn in all occasions from formal dining to swimming in the sea. A mustachio'd male model jauntily displays the various permutations the outfit is capable of.

The Inexhaustible Wardrobe (1902): This is a side splitter. A young man returns to his bachelor quarters after a night at the club clad in his dress suit, and immediately begins to disrobe. He throws off his coat and vest and is just proceeding to pull his shirt over his head when he finds the coat back on his body. They are again thrown off in great rage, when he instantly appears dressed in the uniform of a policeman. This is removed, when as quick as lightning, he is rigged out as a sailor. As fast as his clothes are removed and thrown upon the floor different costumes instantly appear in their places. At last one of the uniforms is suddenly mysteriously changed into a night robe, and the young man in evident satisfaction makes for his bed, but he finds a skeleton perched upon the pillow. He reaches for the uncanny object and after clasping it in his arms, it suddenly turns into a chair, which he throws angrily to the floor and retires. After getting into bed, his nightshirt is suddenly changed into a full dress suit and he finds himself sitting up fully dressed as when he first appeared. Then the bed suddenly flies out from under him and great showers of feathers and bedclothes, small pieces of furniture, and other contributions are dropped from the ceiling upon the happy victim, who vows that he will never drink again.

The Inexhaustible Wardrobe (1902): A magician stands on a stage next to a large wardrobe. He opens the doors and shows the audience that it is empty. He closes the doors and opens them again immediately to reveal an attractive young lady in stage dress. She steps out. He repeats the action: another young lady appears. He does it again: another young lady. Again: a portly middle-aged lady steps out and beats the magician with her handbag. Again: a young girl with curls and a large lollipop. And so forth: the wardrobe disgorges in quick succession a scruffy street urchin (who kicks the magician in the shins), a hatstand, a quantity of small dogs, a chicken, a tuba, a bewildered chimney sweep, a rocking chair, and finally a double of the magician himself. The double gestures the magician into the wardrobe, closes the doors and opens them to reveal that the magician has vanished. The double bows.

Exhausted, he lies down on the bed but jumps up again when a small clown emerges from under the bed, runs around the room and goes into the wardrobe.
