But when Golden Arrow is gone and the carousel is packed with kids, Beady pulls out his magic flute and hypnotizes the kids and tells them to ransack their own houses and bring him the loot in the night. Golden Arrow stumbles on his scheme, but can't fight his town's own kids, and is captured. Beady is about to have the kids MURDER THE HERO WITH KNIVES when he escapes.
