A boy and his little sister's strong desire to have a dog summons a very unordinary house pet. Toys get put away, bedtime frights vanish into thin air, and the children get along better than ever whenever Spooky the ghost dog is around. Taking care of Spooky teaches the children that being responsible for a pet is a lot of hard work. Spooky can play hide and seek like no other fleshy canine. He disappears through walls and can pop up anywhere unexpectedly. Still, having a ghost dog isn't always ideal when wanting to play fetch or needing a hug. Then Spooky does some conjuring up of his own when desires of having a real live dog resurface. Everything comes together on Halloween night when Spooky performs his final ghost trick.
