Neu-Hexe Emma sollte sich wirklich langsam an all die magischen Merkwürdigkeiten in Spellbound gewöhnt haben.

Als sie aber zu einem wichtigen Termin ins Rathaus kommt und sich die sonst so ehrwürdigen Mitglieder der Spellbound-Gemeinschaft wie kleine Kinder verhalten, ist selbst Emma mit ihren Zaubersprüchen am Ende. Sie hat alle Hände voll zu tun, die verhexten Bewohner daran zu hindern, die Stadt zu verwüsten.
