Plot

A young boy's adventure takes him to the domain of the Genie of the Cathedral Bell, where he finds a fortune to enrich his family.^[1]

The film was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 1394–1407 in its catalogues.^[2]

The New York Mirror gave the film a brief review after its American release in December 1909, saying that it "will please the children, who will not be too critical of the stage management."^[1]

The film is currently presumed lost.^[2]
