Hazel has Willy in her spell, but Windy sees her for the hag she is. Hazel transforms Windy into a horse, in revenge for spoiling her plans for Willy. After outrunning the Dog Food truck and Shady Lady Stables, Willy tricks Windy into being part of a horse race, with Willy up to get all the money if he wins. Windy wins race after race, which spoils Hazel’s fun. Hazel transforms Windy into a sparrow.
