A magician goes into hiding after an unfortunate performance incident. When the nearby village bakery loses a
unique recipe, PC McPlonk, along with his uncooperative police dog are tasked with investigating various leads, including Billy Ferguson, a local lad with a bad reputation.
This the second story set in 'Waffleworld'. The first,
The Day of The Scarecrow, was a short story that introduced Wafflepants and Cocklesticks.
Billy and The Magician is a standalone story with similar daft situations, but with less farts.
