Alaka-Sham! Darryl's latest money-making scheme is performing close-up magic with Scratch's assistance, much to Molly's chagrin. Irving is also displeased with Darryl upstaging him, and challenges him to a magic competition, with the loser being required to give up magic. Scratch is unable to help Darryl, as he gets pulled into the Ghost World for urgent Chairman duties, so Molly reluctantly assists Darryl instead. Darryl overhears Irving, down to his last trick, giving a heartfelt pep talk to his assistant pigeon, and decides to let Irving win the competition, noting that Irving is much more dedicated to performing magic whereas Darryl is only doing it for money. Irving attempts a dangerous escape trick, but his pigeon is too tired to help, until Scratch returns and possesses it. He helps Irving escape at the last second, and Darryl declares Irving the winner.
