Pokey and Prickle are playing ball in the toyshop. Their play is interrupted dramatically by an intruding hornet.

Goo finally persuades the hornet to repair the damage and free everybody by reversing its process.

The king's soldier finds and arrests them all and retrieves the goose that has already drunk a potion to cure the gold-egg-laying spell. When the king learns the goose can only lay real eggs he is sad, but Gumby assures him that real golden goslings are more valuable than gold.
