Gertie confides in her grandmother about a racist remark made by a bully at school. She then presents a family heirloom in class: an ancient Chinese Demon Mask. After school, Gertie's bully makes a racist remark and Gertie stands up to her, causing the bully to chase her back into the depths of the school. Gertie dons the mask and discovers its protective powers just as the Nian, a mythological figure in eastern culture, arrives.
