Plot[]
When Kitty wants to find a magic trick to perform at her friend's birthday party, she hops on her balloon with Mimmy and heads to Magic Land. Once they get there, they stop in a magic store and buy a dusty wooden box which "has the power to create the magic of happiness." The girls take the box and are eager to see what's inside.
They open the box and see worn-out old sacks that don't even have bottoms. Kitty is disappointed. She complains that they can't even hold a piece of candy and demonstrates. She is surprised when the candy multiplies when it comes out the other side. They experiment by putting candy in the different bags: one changes the candy's shape, one makes the candy huge. Kitty is excited- the magic bags are going to be a hit at her friend's birthday party.
On their way home, they meet Mr. Raccoon, who tells the girls he has been searching for the magic bags for a very long time. He shows them his weird looking house- once the pride of Magic Land. His grandfather used the bags to change the house for April Fool's Day but he lost the bags before he could change it back. Kitty and Mimi agree to let him borrow the bags to fix his house. While the girls play with his sick daughter Lacey, Kitty performs a magic trick which cheers Lacey up. Kitty and Mimmy leave Magic Land, excited- the Magician was right. The bags did create "the magic of happiness'" for Mr. Raccoon and his daughter.
While riding home, a hungry Kitty wants to multiply a piece of candy using a magic bag, but it doesn't work. Mimmy finds a label which reads that the bags don't work outside Magic Land.
