Trick or Treat

Year Published: 1969

Creator: Dimension Films

Complete Record: Pete's cowboy outfit is too small now, he has really outgrown trick - or treating. But his pal Sandy has talked him into one last fling. Pete's Dada extracts a promise that the boys will commit no mischief, and things get worse from there. An old lady gives them jellybeans (which they hate), two little boys start tagging along after them, and some girls make fun of their costumes. Finally old sour puss in a house trailer drives them off with no treat at all. Time for a trick. To keep the letter of their promise, they inveigle little Ronnie (the tagger along) into tying the mean old man's trailer to a nearby parked car whose engine is running. A moment later, the car starts up, the trailer is yanked off its blocks crashes, injuuring the old man. Pete and Sandy escape, but Ronnie is caught. The big boys figure that the dark night and their costumes have concealed their identity. By saying nothing, they can avoid all blame, an the little boys will take the punishment.
