Housemates Pug and Pig (of Pug Meets Pig) have different ideas about Halloween fun: Pig loves wearing a costume and mask, but Pug finds his uncomfortable and alienating. They find a (rather contrived) solution that allows the two to enjoy the holiday. Lively vignettes of the roly-poly friends are placed against dark purple backgrounds for a festive yet mysterious air.
