Description:  Rupert Brown and Amelia Daley (voiced by Eric Taslitz and Nancy McKeon) receive a mysterious gift from a spooky old crone: a ship inside a bottle with a tiny man as its passenger. Rupert opens the bottle, releasing its occupant Ð an evil Warlock named Mordo (voiced by Hans Conried) Ð who kidnaps Amelia. Rupert calls upon the good witch, Miss Switch (voiced by Janet Waldo) to use her magic powers to rescue Amelia. Using her witches' encyclopedia, she traces Mordo and Amelia to the year 1640, when Mordo was imprisoned in the flask for developing an evil potion that turns people into trolls. Traveling back in time on her broomstick, Miss Switch and Rupert find Amelia on Mordo's pirate ship, where the warlock is about to administer his potion to the town's mayor. They manage to rescue Amelia, but lose the mayor to Mordo's clutches who is transformed into a troll named Thaddeus...
