Bertie's Big Plan
As the White Howler descended upon our heroes in the forest, they responded quickly ... by running!
Keep it up, Gussie -- if we fall, Bertie will never have his chance! Reggie gasped aloud.
As the ghost moved swiftly over the ground, Bertie made a flying leap and snagged the ghost's bedsheet.
Gotcha!
With a shriek of fright, a Jack o' Lantern tumbled from beneath and leaped away into the forest.
The Ghost of Halloween Past? suggested Gussie. Bertie fumbled with the sheet.
Now's not the time, boys -- not if we're going to snag a Jack o' Lantern in time for Halloween!
Right. Bertie, let's all get under that sheet and sneak back to the patch. As for Gussie here, I think it's time he returned to his old football days in high school...we've got a little surprise for the pumpkins.

Once the heroes encounter the leader of the pumpkin gang, they were shocked to see a giant stalk of corn instead of the legendary Master Pumpkin. Before a crowd of shivering pumpkins, they were sentenced to face the Ghost of the Forest!
Fleeing the scene swiftly, Bertie, Reggie, and Gussie didn't even have time to survey the Jack o' Lanterns around them for Halloween decoration potential, since the Ghost of the Forest was hot on their heels.
Wait a minute! What are we doing?
Bertie's breathles exclaimation was accompanied by the "shush" of his several companions as they ducked behind bushes.
What do you mean "doing"? We're running from a scary ghost ordered to dispatch us on behalf of a giant corn stalk! Reggie hissed.
But there's no way we can outrun it, boys -- our only chance is to outwit it.
Outwit a ghost?
Why not? I have a plan, boys...
With that, Bertie lowered his voice to a whisper. As the others listened, comprehension dawned on their faces.
What's Bertie's brilliant plan? Tune in Next Time to find out!

Who are you? Before Bertie could stop himself, the words popped out.
The corn stalk -- if such a thing is possible -- leered at him with broken kernel teeth exposed through its hull.
I'm the master of the pumpkins, sonny boy. If anybody's got business with them, they's got it with me.
All hail Colonel Stalk!! droned the pumpkins.
Too shocked to respond, the crows stared at the giant corn stalk towering above them.
Shall I feed 'em to the wolves, boss? Asked One-Eyed Jack with a sneer.
I think we should let the White Howler take care of 'em!
As the corn stalk laughed with a high, evil cackle, a form took shape in the mist...the unmistakable form of a ghost!

When we last encountered our heroes, one of them demanded an audience with the pumpkin's leader from a vicious thug known as One-Eyed Jack.
Good going, Reg -- now we'll be facing off with the Master Pumpkin himself. You heard what the owl said --
Gussie's remarks were cut short, however, by the pumpkins. Who parted in a sea of orange hull and green leaves to reveal.....
A Corn Stalk.
