But as the call drags on, waves of uninvited guests pass through the front door. Soon the house overflows with bizarre visitors-from "muscley" men to winking wizards. As Mama continues to ignore the raucous revelry, Rose finally joins the party. But before the uproar gets out of hand, something quite surprising happens.
