Despite his digestive problems that have plagued him for days, General Bombone Sparone Pesta Fracassone wants to wage war, but his soldiers Martino Testadura and Giovannino Perdigiorno are unfamiliar with words... they seem to have no idea what war is, and so they let the enemy's guts bake the cake, and instead of loading the cannons and being ready for the assault, they load the cannoli and are ready to taste them! Once the misunderstandings are resolved, Mago Girò is summoned to make up for the lack of weapons, but he is only an expert in birthday parties and suggests confetti cannons, fake pistols, and fireworks rockets. General Bombone doesn't give up and hires the

Dr. Terribilis to create a powerful, fearsome cannon from the bronze bells. But the fairy who watches over this story invites the children in the audience to blow on peace...the spell is cast.
