==Plot== In every episode, an eccentric wizard named Bubonic and his aunt, a vain witch named Tyrannia, must wreak havoc on the city in which they live or suffer a severe punishment from their supervisor, Maledictus T. Maggot. Using a magical parchment, they cast a spell whose effects will become permanent if it is not reversed within 7 hours. Bubonic's and Tyrannia's pets, Mauricio di Mauro and Jacob Scribble, must seek out Aunt Noah, an old turtle at the local zoo and head of the Animal Council, for a riddle on how to reverse the spell, which they manage to do in the nick of time. Bubonic and Tyrannia, who have often been inconvenienced by their own spell due to their clumsiness, are puzzled or relieved at their magic being reversed, before being punished by Maggot for their failure.
