Ladahlord promises a tale that's weird, strange, and magic “Right Before Your Eyes.”

The Company joins Ladahlord and offers more tantalizing hints of what's about to happen.

In a troubling dream at the Painswick Orphanage, James replays his parents' death by an angry rhino escaped from the London Zoo.

James sings "On Your Way Home" to a ladybug and a grasshopper, imaging their home lives and contrasting this with his curreent homeless situation.

On the boardwalk at Dover, Spiker and Sponge brag about their talents as pickpockets.  Whenever wealthy people happen by, whatever they may be wearing or carrying becomes “Property of Spiker and Sponge.”

Two policemen, Bobby and Billy Bobby-Cop, give Spiker and Sponge an official telegram informing them that, as the only living relatives of James Trotter, they are now his legal guardians.

Aunts Spiker and Sponge welcome James as their "helper monkey slave."

The evil aunts snatch and ridicule the scarf and glasses that are James' only mementos of his parents and his happy life before they were killed.

In the neglected flower bed down the hill from his aunts' decrepit house, James begins to chop down a peach tree, the work for aunts have assigned him while they go down to frolic on the beach.

Ladahlord challenges James to reach into the unknown and “Shake It Up” by picking something unseen.  James picks a book of potions, tonics, and spells.

James mixes the slithering crocodile tongues, but accidentally doses the peach tree and insect, and the tree produces a giant peach.

Spiker and Sponge realize “There’s Money On That Tree.”  People will pay to see the world's largest peach.

James finds a doorknob on the side of the peach and is drawn inside, where he finds that the insects have magically become as big as he is.  L. to R.:  Earthworm, Ladybug, James, Spider, Grasshopper, Centipede.

The peach drops to the ground and rolls into the sea, where the group finds itself “Floatin’ Along.”  The Earthworm worries about food, but James suggests eating the peach.

James has a nightmare about the rhino, but this time it is animated by Spiker and Sponge.

The Grasshopper and Ladybug comfort James, telling him that his parents are with him “Everywhere You Are.”

Spiker and Sponge escape from their creditors by taking an ocean cruise.  Their money is all gone, but at least they have each other:  “I Got You.”

The peach drifts into shark infested waters.  The friends think of a way out.  If they can attract a flight of seagulls and harness the birds to the peach, perhaps they can fly to safety.  But they'll need some bait to attract the gulls.

The Earthworm agrees to serve as bait, reluctantly at first, but then with enthusiasm, advertising:  “Plump and Juicy.”

The scheme works!  The gull are attached to the peach, and away they fly.

Ladahlord magically oversees the peach's flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

An accidental meeting with an airliner sends the peach falling down, down, down, until it lands on top of the Empire State Building. The aunts spot the peach and plan to reclaim it but only after exterminating the insects.  James tells them that his true family is the insects he's been traveling with.  A big chunk of the peach breaks off and crushes the wicked aunts.

The insects sing “Welcome Home,” to James who, through friendship and bravery has regained a home and family.
