Plot
It's Halloween and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are going trick-or-treating. They receive treats from Mickey (as a Vampire), Minnie (as a Witch with her black cat Figaro) and Goofy (the latter thinking it was Easter and giving them Easter eggs while dressed as the Easter bunny and wearing a cardboard tree). They visit Donald's house, but Donald disguises himself as a scary man with a hook and a hockey mask and scares the boys away. He takes the candy that the children left behind as well. Huey, Dewey, and Louie discover Donald's trick and plan to get back at him. They sneak inside the house and put glue on Donald's disguise. When Donald hears someone knocking at the door, he puts his costume back on, hoping to receive more candy. However, Chief O'Hara is there with a wanted poster of a person dressed in Donald's costume asking if he has seen this man since "three young ducks have gone a-missin'", unbeknownst to Donald that Chief O'Hara is really Huey, Dewey and Louie, stacked up and disguised with a latex mask and raincoat. Donald runs away after failing to remove his costume but Mickey, Minnie and Goofy (who have also received wanted posters) chase after him, believing that he's really the culprit and corner him in Minnie's cauldron and he is sent flying just as the trio prepare to attack him. Donald ends up in a graveyard in front of three tombstones with his nephews' names on them. Hewy, Dewy and Louie pretend to be zombies, and say that their uncle scared them to death. They chase Donald across the graveyard until he falls into the hole and they say "Hope you liked our candy uncle Donald, that shall be your last", Donald replied "Oh I'm sorry boys I'll get your candy back" the boys asked "All of it?" Donald "Cross my heart and hope to die" and the boys dress him up in a costume of their own and make him trick-or-treat with them. All four of them run away, however, when the next person they see in the shadows has a hook for a hand, they get terrified, but it turns out that it was actually Goofy, dressed as Santa Claus (now thinking it's Christmas), prepared to give the candy canes.
