The elderly owner of a china shop leaves for the night, and the various figurines and decorated mugs come to life.

But the demon proves to have a glass jaw and, literally, a yellow streak, and the happy couple is soon reunited. No dialogue, but some signs are in English, particularly the final punch-line.
