==Synopsis==
One afternoon, Zazu informed Scar that Mufasa was hosting a storytelling event for his son, Simba, in order to prepare him for his future reign as king. At first, Scar was loath to participate in the event, but then, a devious idea struck him. Realizing that he could not pull off his plan alone, he journeyed to the Elephant Graveyard and convinced his hyena minions, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, to kidnap Simba while he distracted Mufasa with a story.
That night, Simba begged Scar to tell him a scary story, and Scar promised that his story would be the scariest. Once the pride had gathered for the storytelling event, Scar volunteered to perform first and told his story in such a way as to cue the hyenas into position. First, he stirred up dust with his paws, and the hyenas attempted to use the dust as cover for their approach. However, Simba sneezed, diverting the crowd's attention, and Mufasa advised Scar to stop.
Next, Scar used his story to command the hyenas to disguise themselves in mud. They obediently camouflaged themselves in dirt and dust, and began to creep toward Simba on their stomachs, only for Mufasa to suddenly stand at attention. Afraid of being spotted, the hyenas retreated into the darkness.
Finally, Scar subtly directed the hyenas to form a tower to Simba. They started to do so, but when Scar bellowed out a line of his story, they fell off Pride Rock and fled the Pride Lands. Upon noticing his minions' retreat, Scar gave up his plot and half-heartedly finished his story. Oblivious to his uncle's despondency, Simba commented that the story should have been scarier.
