Before carrying out their plan, they go around towns and farms, stealing bits and bobs to make a crude baby's pram.
At the airshow, all is going well. the show is turning out very successful and already a lot of donation money for the statue is coming in. With Laura riding the pram dressed as a baby, the two thieving sister sneak into the airshow and start swiping cash from money boxes while they wait for the donation jar to fill up. However, they get caught by Kit. They take all the money they stole, including the donation money, and escape in a clown's stunt plane.
