On Dis­c­world live three witches, Granny, Nanny and Mar­grat. One day a baby is thrown into their laps and it hap­pens that it is the son of the dead king. The king, mur­dered by the Duke, who wants to be ruler. Well, the Duchess want to be ruler actu­ally: behind every good man, stands a bet­ter woman. Any­way, the witches decide to get the baby adopted by an actor and his wife, so he stays out of trou­ble until he is ready to rule as the new king. When every­thing goes awry with the Duke (the idea to burn down the whole for­est amongst other things), the witches decide to speed up time about fif­teen years. But is that the right decision?
