	Intro
	Scene	Finchen is adding new leaves to her leaf pile when she sees Pepe running around with a remote controlled car behind him, and she wonders if Pepe is playing tag with the car. However, it turns out that he is trying to run away from Samson's remote controlled car, because the remote is broken and out of Samson's control. The car ends up crashing in Finchen's leaf pile. Finchen suggests that Samson should see if Mehmet can fix it. Pepe says that he could fix it with magic. Samson likes the idea and Pepe casts the spell. But nothing appears to have happened to the car, but Pepe is acting strange; he has an antenna on his head, headlights on his chest and a taillight on his cape. Finchen tries to use the remote and discovers that Pepe is remote controlled.
	Scene	Finchen and Samson are having fun "driving" Pepe around the street. But then the remote starts to act up again and they can't stop him. Pepe ends up going trough a bush, clothesline and the branch of an apple tree. Finchen tries to make him crash into some empty boxes but that doesn't work either. But the boxes give Samson an idea: if they separate his feet from the ground he won't be able to go anywhere.
	Scene	Samson catches Pepe and lifts him up. Pepe thanks Samson, as he was getting tired of going round and round and round. Finchen opens the spell book and Pepe is able to stop the spell. They then discover that the remote has run out of batteries. Pepe suggests that he could summon some batteries, but Samson and Finchen don't like the idea. So Pepe decides to fetch some from Nils. While Pepe is on his way Finchen and Samson see that Pepe still has the taillight on his cape, and they laugh.
