After a series of misadventures—including a monkey getting stuck on a telephone pole and Tuffy causing chaos at the zoo—she eventually returns home, where her father explains the perfume's "magic" was merely perpetual motion caused by her leaving the bathtub running and the window open, which flooded the house and sent her flying through the air.
Tuffy experiments with old chemical bottles she found and accidentally creates a magic perfume that gives people the courage to do what they've always secretly wanted to do—with wildly hilarious results across the neighborhood.

It's a hilarious lesson in what happens when jealousy takes the wheel.
