Dredger, Tanty and Thorpe are stunned when Pye reveals he has grown horns as a result of his bad behaviour to remove his wings. Reckoning that he is being punished by 'Pal' for not being humble in his preaching, Pye decides he needs to suffer humiliation at the hands of the island residents at the Cattle Show for his curse to be removed. But Dredger and Tanty have fears over his plans, which prove well founded when his appearance at the Cattle Show cause locals to fear that he is a devil, putting Pye's life in grave danger.
