Rowdy roosters Rudy and Ralph cause a lot of barnyard racket, disturbing Clarissa the cow and Sophie the pig. As all the animals prepare for a Halloween parade, a ghostly figure appears in the barn, and the two noisy roosters fear that they've awoken the fabled "poultrygeist." The humorous story is accompanied by unpretentious, colorful art depicting the animals decked out in their Halloween garb.
