A friendly witch and her cat go out camping, after which they zip around on their broom. In turn they meet a dog, a bird, and a frog, all of which want to join them. The good-hearted witch accepts them, but the cat is displeased and the broom is overburdened and can barely take off. They soon have a bigger problem, however: a gigantic dragon that wants to eat the witch.

* AdaptationExpansion: Like other adaptations of Donaldson books, expanded out to fit a TV time slot. We see scenes of the dragon stalking the witch, and we also get back stories from the frog and bird explaining why they want to get on the broom.
* AllWitchesHaveCats: Sure enough, the witch has an orange cat. The cat does not approve of all the other guests being invited onto the broom.

* FlyingBroomstick: How the witch gets around. Also used for visual gags like when she uses the broomstick to hold up her tent and to hang a cauldron over a fire.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: It is made quite clear that the extra animals are over-stressing the broom, as it grows progressively more difficult for the witch to take off. When the frog decides to hop, the broom breaks.

* MagicMushroom: The witch throws some freaky-looking mushrooms into the cauldron for kicks, and the result is a satisfying explosion--which unfortunately draws the attention of the dragon. Later, the witch uses the same freaky mushrooms to enchant her broomstick, making it bigger so all the animals can fit on with ease.
