☆As David walks out of Hooper's Store and notes the windy weather rolling into Sesame Street, he catches a broom that falls from the sky, causing the wind to stop. Afterwards, the Wicked Witch of the West emerges from around the corner and finds she is not in Oz anymore. Upon spotting David with her broom, she demands to have it back, only for David to warn her to be more careful due to it nearly falling on his head. He refuses to return the broom until she gives him some respect. The Wicked Witch, who cannot touch the broom while another person is holding it, disappears angrily in a puff of smoke.
☆David re-enters his store and shows the broom to Maria before the Wicked Witch reappears and causes it to rain inside the store. Everyone exits the store and they run into Big Bird. The witch returns again and attempts to get the broom from Big Bird, who is brave and defends his friends. She then threatens to transform David into a basketball and Big Bird into a feather duster before disappearing in another puff of smoke.
☆Oscar the Grouch develops a crush on the Wicked Witch, who disguises herself as an elderly human woman and returns to Hooper's Store. She again attempts to retrieve the broom, but David sees through the disguise and says he will only set the broom down if she asks for it nicely. She does, with extreme difficulty, and as she picks up the broom she transforms back into a witch. She says that she is going to fly back to Oz and never see Sesame Street again. While on her way back to Oz she says "look, no hands", and lets go of the broom, which falls back down to Sesame Street. Down on the street, David catches the broom again and begins crying, "I can't go through this again". But instead of retrieving it, the Wicked Witch announces the sponsors, which ends with her cackling offscreen.
