Synopsis for "Mary and the Witch!"
A woman who used to act on the stage is impressed with a magician's ability to seem to perform real magic. She pretends to be interested in him until he takes her to meet his mother, who he claims is a witch and the true source of his power. The old woman sees through the girl and refuses to divulge any secrets. When the witch goes into town, the actress uses her makeup skills to disguise herself as the witch so that she can influence the magician to tell her the secrets. The townsfolk have decided that they've had enough of a witch living in their midst, so they seize her and burn her at the stake.
