Synopsis: Dinner guests are talking about the fashionable subject of magnetic influence. One of them, a skeptic, tells two stories of apparent psychic phenomena and explains that both could be pure coincidence and happenstance. A fisherman's son started crying that he was sure his father had drowned, and it later turned out that the father's boat had wrecked just then. The skeptic himself fell in love extremely suddenly with a woman he had always been indifferent to.
