Distress for our medieval hero as Touchwood, his toad is ill and seems at death's door.
Cedric suggests they seek help from the nearby village and see the renown zoologist Professor Habbleman, a real strange Germanic character with a twin brother. This episode sees Catweazle perplexed by identical twins as Habbleman says that Touchwood is an extinct toad and must have him for his studies. Another very funny gem.

A rather rude, risqué episode full of double entendres.
Groome " my marrow is beautiful Mavis, I suppose you're not interested in my marrow"
" My marrow is six feet long"
Lady Collingford to Mrs Gowdie
" It doesn't look six feet long"
" men always exaggerate m'lady"
It's a marrow growing competition between Groome, His Lordship and Cedric, with a magic potion prepared by Catweazle having an extraordinary effect on marrows

Disaster as the Collingfords have to sell up, they are bankrupt.
Cedric is almost in tears , Mrs Gowdie is in tears. If only the lost treasure can be found. It has something to do with the hieroglyphic riddle that Catweazle translated at the start. Cedric has a pocket telescope and is showing Catweazle how it works in the grounds of the estate. He points it at the clock tower and sees something odd. The roman numeral twelve is NOT twelve , it's xiii, 13!
" twelve are they that circle round" it wasn't the zodiac signs but the clock numbers on the tower.
" look for where the thirteenth lies" it lies! It's pretending to be twelve
" mount aloft the one who flies" The weather vane, old father time, time flies!
" The treasure Catweazle ot must be up there in the spire, in the loft"
The treasure is found ,King's Farthing saved, but no thirteenth sign for a crestfallen Catweazle
" the quest is over Touchwood. Magic is gibberish and I have the heartache"
But one last twist awaits Catweazle, which is.........?

Does Catweazle realize his dream to fly?
