Synopsis
An eight-year-old girl possesses a unique power: when she becomes angry, her 'Magic Finger' transforms those who upset her. Distressed by her neighbours, the Gregg family's, relentless hunting, she points her finger at them. The next morning, the Greggs awaken to find themselves transformed into bird-sized humans with wings, while the ducks they've hunted have grown to human size and taken over their home. This role reversal teaches the Greggs a valuable lesson about empathy and the consequences of their actions.
