Finally, the concoction is complete, and sucking up some in a sprayer, she and the boys hop aboard BZ Bub, and take to the air! Setting up a cauldron, Hazel has the trio bring forth a number of specific ingredients. However, her polite attempts don’t work, and so she gets the boys to help her use witchcraft on him! Of course, the boys are perfectly fine encountering a real witch on a flying broom, and Hazel decides to help them get some candy from Donald. “Aw, bless their little black hearts,” says Hazel, coming down to console the boys.
