Film Synopsis
Mary Smith (voiced by Hana Sugisaki) has recently moved to her great-aunt’s house in the countryside. Although happy to be with her beloved aunt, Mary is finding it difficult to adjust to her new life. No matter what she does, she always seems to be in everyone’s way.
Then, Mary meets a pair of cats, Tib and Gib (voiced by Ikue Otani and Lynn), who lead her deep into the nearby forest. The two felines stop and hiss when they arrive at a mysterious blue flower. Being curious, Mary takes the plant and learns that it is called fly-by-night, or the witch’s flower.
The next day, one of the cats, Gib, goes missing. While searching, Mary discovers the true nature of the witch’s flower. The plant temporarily bestows onto Mary the power of a witch and resurrects a flying broomstick.
The broomstick takes Mary to the ancient school of magic known as Endor College. Although thinking the witch’s flower has given her the excitement she has been looking for, Mary soon realizes that many people wish to use its amazing power to complete their own nefarious goals.
