Comedy 3 Acts : 3 men, 2 women, Interior
Gillian Holroyd, her aunt Miss Holroyd and Tony Henderson all live in the same house in different flats. Tony has had quite enough of finding Miss Holroyd in his flat and fiddling with the phone so he complains to Gillian. He also wonders how she could have got into his flat without a key; little does he know that both Gillian and her aunt are witches. Gillian has taken a liking to Tony and decides to use her feminine charms to ensnare him. However, when she finds out he is engaged to her childhood enemy Merle Kittredge she `magics' him with the help of her cat Pyewacket to fall in love with her.
The spell works, Tony cancels his engagement and for two weeks they are happy together, even though if Gillian were truly to fall in love she would be able to cry and blush but also would lose her magical powers. Problems arise when Nicky, her warlock brother, begins working on a book all about witches. Gillian `magics' the book so it won't be published, so Nicky threatens to tell Tony that she is a witch (Tony has read Nicky's book and doesn't believe a word of it). Gillian decides to let the cat out of the bag and tell him herself, revealing that she cast a spell on him. When at last he believes her, he storms out of her house and pays another witch a thousand pounds to have the spell removed.
One evening Tony visits Gillian to pay some back rent (which she refuses) and to use the phone. As he leaves, Gillian blushes and then she starts to cry. Tony realizes she is no longer a witch and he too discovers that he is in love with her, even without being `magicked'.
