As Halloween approaches, Rocky's excitement reaches its peak. With his criminal-looking mask and mischievous demeanor, he dons a ghost costume complete with a criminal hat purchased from the store. Every night, as children go trick-or-treating and collect Halloween candy, Rocky sneaks up on them, sending shivers down their spines and playfully snatching their sweet treats.
Everything seems to be going according to plan for Rocky until he encounters a group of children dressed as ghostbusters from the beloved movie "Ghostbusters." Unbeknownst to Rocky, these costumed children mistake him for one of their friends and eagerly join the chase. Determined to catch the "ghost," they run after Rocky, playfully tugging at his clothes and showering him with sweets.
As the children's pursuit continues, Rocky grows weary and decides to reveal his true identity, exclaiming, "That's enough! I'm not a ghost, please stop!" Surprised yet compassionate, the children put an end to their playful assault. Recognizing Rocky's longing for acceptance, they offer him their cop costume as a gesture of friendship.
With newfound camaraderie, Rocky and his new friends embark on an adventure, visiting neighbors' houses in their festive Halloween costumes, collecting candies and spreading joy throughout the night.
