During Tom and Twigs's red magic lesson, Muru is called away unexpectedly, and a meddling Twigs manages to break his magic stick, which then comes to life and starts flying around Treetopolis! Tom and Twigs chase it all the way to the Dead Branch Desert, where they find a whole bush of magic sticks. But instead of taking just one, Twigs gets greedy and grabs more - causing him to start turning into wood! Will Tom be able to save the day and Twigs with red magic? And what will Muru do when he finds out about his stick?
