Bo agrees, but on one condition-the ugly duck must go to a wicked witch's castle and steal her shoes. The witch says no and sets her lackeys on him. In desperation, the ugly duck uses his ugliness to scare them all away. After discovering his secret weapon, he decides he doesn't need a new face.

He makes up the word "gazorninplats" and asks the Buddy Bears to tell everyone about them. Thinking they've failed, the Buddy Bears quit, but the man from the network decides to replace Garfield's show with the "Gazorninplat Hour!"
