A boy named Hugo Cabaret has to rebuild a machine that was built by magicians. He gets help from a girl, Isabel, that is the god daughter of an old man that stole Hugo’s book that would help him rebuild. Hugo steals Isabel’s necklace when Hugo finished the automaton. The necklace started the cogs and clocks in the automaton. It draws a picture. It had Isabel’s godfather’s name, Georges Melies. Hugo and Isabel soon figure out that the godfather, Papa Georges was a magician and a movie maker. Hugo knew that the picture (That the automaton drew.) would save him, and it did. He was adopted by the Melies and gave him a life.
