Synopsis
The Witch reads a spy book and decides to confuse Dandy and Socrates. She transforms herself into a near-perfect copy of Rusty Tinman. First, she frightens Dandy Lion and pushes him down the well. Then "Rusty" knocks down the ladder that Socrates is on and shoves an apple into his mouth, followed by tying his arms together. When the real Rusty enters, he is given the blame, until the fake Tinman shows up. The two Rusty's fight a bit, but when the real Tinman shows that he has no heart, they discover the phony, and try to get "him." But the fake Rusty reveals herself as the Witch and gets away. Then when Rusty goes to tell the Wizard about what happened, he comes across another Rusty, whom is this time only the Wizard in disguise.
