Porter's sequential continuity editing links several shots to form a narrative of the famous fairy tale story of Jack and his magic beanstalk. Borrowing on cinematographic methods reminiscent of 'Georges Melies' , Porter uses animation, double exposure, and trick photography to illustrate the fairy's apparitions, Jack's dream, and the fast growing beanstalk.

Directed by Edwin S. Porter and George S. Fleming

The plot is very confusing and I was never sure which scene they were trying to do. The acting is absolutely dreadful and the effects are even worse. Beyond historical value, it has no value.
