Synopsis

Thomas Troy is mugged by a masked thief named Diamond Jack. He tracks the thief as the Fly but must stop a witch and her mystical parrot from killing the thief.

Indexer Notes

Ol' Abbey is possibly Abigail March, Thomas's adoptive mother from the original series. Clues pointing toward this fact is her name, her being a witch, and The Fly stating that she talked as if they had met before.
