The Golden Touch.
Chip, Kipper, Biff and Floppy went on a magic adventure and there was a girl who was crying because her dad was the king and he had a magic touch so that everything he touched turned to gold. He had touched the kingdom and everything in it so it was either all gold or all steel. When the king came in he saw Floppy and he patted him and then Floppy turned to gold as well. But then the king went to see the person who gave him the golden touch and said he didn't want it any more and asked how to get rid of it, he was told it would take all of the water in the river. The whole village helped to make everything back to normal. When they got home Chip wet Kipper with some water he had left from their adventure.
