Gimmick is challenged by the Wizard of Ying to build an attraction that will lure the customers from his brother's amusement park (which is drawing even his employees now), and is given the Octopedes as laborers. The disguised Teddy and Grubby enter the Ying Zoo, attracting the attention of the Wizard, who has never seen creatures like them. He gives Teddy and Grubby a personal tour of the zoo, and points out a cage reserved for an Illiop, remarking that he once had an Illiop, but he escaped. The Wizard then tries to capture the disguised Teddy and Grubby. The two of them lose their disguises during the chase, and are finally captured, much to the Wizard's elation. Teddy is put in the Illiop cage.
