The stories

“Straw Pull”

When two mischievous elves steal the straws from Wendy's broom to use as toothpicks, Wendy magically pulls the straws - and the elves - back to her.

“The Walking, Talking Grandfather Clock”

Casper and The Ghostly Trio are given wristwatches by The Old Grandfather Clock, which cause them to move at an accelerated rate of speed.

“Slaves of Time”

Stopping his accelerated pace long enough to quickly rescue Flufftail the Rabbit from a quicksand pit, Casper loses the wristwatch given to him by The Old Grandfather Clock and suddenly returns to a normal pace. Observing Fatso (who has worked himself skinny at a breakneck pace of exercise) and many of the forest animals who are also sporting gift wristwatches, Casper realizes a connection between the wristwatches and the epidemic of accelerated speed.

“Hours Not to Reason Why”

Casper learns the origin of Old Grandfather Clock, and why he is manipulating time for his own vengeful purposes, but not before the crooked clock accelerates an entire city with his wayward wristwatches.
