Samantha helps When Johnny's wheel wobbles, Samantha wiggles her nose and
Gladys accuses her of helping him. Samantha learns that
Johnny's father, a hardworking garage owner, is determined
that nothing will stop his motherless son from going to medical
school. Fearing his father's disapproval, Johnny has secretly
built his racer and asks Samantha's help in getting his father to
sign the entry blank. Samantha accomplishes this by magic, but
he refuses to attend the race. At the track, Gladys and Darrin
watch Samantha closely, to be sure she doesn't help Johnny.
When Johnny, on his own, beats Flash, Gladys protests. Mr.
Martin, an official, holds up presentation of the trophy until he
can question Johnny's father. Samantha pops off and using
magic again, gets Mr. Mills to the hearing. When Martin
inquires whether Johnny built the racer himself, Mills listens
with pride. Johnny explains he assembled the car himself after
watching his father at work. When Johnny receives a scholarship after winning the finals, Samantha realizes his father needs
not fear about Johnny's education. Darrin tells Samantha she's
very good at making the dreams of both a man and a boy come
true.
