The segment begins with Yen Sit retreats into his chamber for some rest after performing some magic, but not without leaving his hat behind within the reach of his apprentice Mickey who happened to do his chores as usual. As soon as he left, Mickey takes the hat and decided to use its power to animate the broom and instructed it to carry buckets of water to fill a cauldron for his behalf. In his satisfaction, Mickey sleeps and has a dream where he commands stars, planets, and water into a perfect symphony. However, it doesn't take long for his inexperience and lack of proper knowledge in the spell causes the bewitched broom to overflow the cauldron instead of stopping as intended to the point of the whole place is flooded. Mickey tries to stop the broom to no avail, and ultimately resorted to hack it into pieces with an axe. However, the broom regenerates into an army of clones of itself and continue filling the cauldron. Mickey rushes for Yen Sid's magic book for a spell to stop the broom army only to find himself in a whirlpool. Just then, Yen Sid comes in and sees this, and with a wave of his hands, the water descends and the army of brooms is decreased to one broom. Looking at his disheveled Mickey, Yen Sid glares at his apprentice in disappointment and urges him to continue his chores. Yet, he shows a small mischievous smirk at Mickey, who gives a weak smile and to make sure he has learned his lesson, Yen Sid smacks him once in the buttocks with the now inanimate broom, making Mickey get his chores done a lot faster. After the piece is over, Mickey runs to Leopold Stokowski and congratulate each other and Mickey exits and Leopold waves goodbye after he shakes hands with him.
