Plot
Daffy Duck receives a call from Melissa Duck that her house is being haunted. Daffy quickly rushes over and checks the house.

When the cupboard is opened, there is a train heading straight towards him. He quickly slams it and goes to talk to Melissa. He soon finds out that she is possessed, so he gets a book and starts reading corny ghost jokes. The three ghosts that possessed Melissa jump out and chase Daffy down the street.
