Episode synopsis
Concerned by the power of the mysterious bag, Billy returns it to Alfonso, who has a new offer: swap his dog Fred in return for a Italian greyhound called Giulietta for the day. What's more, it seems that Giulietta is no ordinary greyhound; she can do tricks and soon Billy is showing her off at school. However, it also attracts the attentions of school bully Ginger Gahagan and risks discovery by headmaster Mr Hardwood, when a school assembly goes horribly wrong.
About Alfonso Bonzo
Young Billy Webb likes to swap things with his schoolmates. He meets Alfonso Bonzo, an 'Italian exchange student' who also has a talent for swapping things (thus his self-description: he is an Italian student who exchanges things). Billy makes a series of magical but increasingly risky swaps with Alfonso, leading to unexpected and sometimes sinister consequences as Alfonso's true nature becomes questionable.
