## Synopsis

In this second season of "Peabody's Jamming Adventures," Mr. Peabody reads Sherman the Halloween story of Emperor Sniffy, who, after doubting the existence of the Grand Pumpkin, is assisted by a dragon who shows him a world in which he had never been born.

## Plot

In a framing device, Mr. Peabody reads Sniffy's Halloween story to Sherman, who initially dismisses the contents.

On Halloween Night 2004, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Emperor Sniffy contemplates suicide. The prayer of his royal girfriend, Lady Kaitlin, reaches Rustic Roots, where a guardian dragon named Aragorn is assigned to save Sniffy in order to earn his wings. Aragorn is shown flashbacks of Sniffy's incident hours prior.

When the day began, the gullible peasant Chuckie is writing his yearly letter to the Grand Pumpkin, nicknamed Grande. As he does so, he suffers from Kaitlin's desire for a foam sword, Anka's threats, the Royal Official's claim how he's wasting his time, and Sniffy's initial disbelief of him, but Goosey is the only one who, because she's so smitten with him, supports him. Anka follows Chuckie as he goes out to mail the letter, and when he puts it in the box, she facepalms. Sniffy shows up to announce that he was invited to a field trip to the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City, hosted by Ella Gant. Anka is skeptical about his invitation, assuming it was sent by mistake.

Meanwhile, the evil cyborg clown Rusty Von Dusty is spying on the palace from his rodeo shack in Winfield, Kansas. Seeing Chuckie's abilities, he tells his gorilla assistant Mr. Biggie that he wants to capture Chuckie and steal his brain essence, as he's not getting anything from a rodeo elephant, whom Rusty captured previously. Rusty and the elephant are wearing identical helmets which are connected by a tube, and lumps of "brain essence" are going from the elephant to Rusty. The clown tells his assistant that he used to be a party clown, and tried to perform a magic trick to make a snack of Chuckie's disappear. The clown believed him to be "unappreciative," but in truth, Chuckie tripped him into a vat of acid for revenge. In the present time, Rusty states that he needs brain power to survive, and Chuckie is the perfect target out of vengeance, so he sends Biggie to take Chuckie from the palace, "where his friends cannot protect him."

On Halloween night, the group prepares for their field trip with each wearing a costume; Sniffy dresses as a dog fighter. Kailin dresses as a hillbilly. Shadowbolt dresses as a pumpkin masked Headless Horse. Ella dresses as a gypsy belly dancer. On the way, they stop at the chimney to jeer at Chuckie for missing the festivities as usual. Undeterred, Chuckie persuades Goosey, due to her infatuation with him, to skip the field trip and join him. Outside, Biggie knocks out the guards and holds Chuckie hostage.

At the Museum of Ostelogy, the group strolls by some animal skeletons, and Kaitlin sings a karaoke performance of *The Halloween Anthem* by the Trombone band. Sniffy recieves a phone call from Goosey, who reports that Chuckie has been kidnapped, prompting Sniffy to call for his friends to follow him out. At the palace, Goosey shows her emperor a ransom note from Biggie that either they surrender the palace to Rusty or never see Chuckie again. Goosey furiously blames Sniffy for Chuckie's absence, believing him to be as irreponsible now as he was "when Goosey first knew him." Despite Kaitlin defending her beagle boy, Goosey decides to search for Chuckie in Winfield. Anka and Ella reluctantly follow her, and the dejected Sniffy plods away downtown, with Kaitlin close behind, supportive as ever.

At the present time, in Rustic Roots, Aragorn, having seen the flashback, pities Sniffy's current situation, and Grande sends him to prevent the suicide. Sniffy goes to the Arkansas River, but before he can jump, Aragorn dives into the river and Sniffy rescues him. When Sniffy wishes he had never been born, Aragorn shows Sniffy a timeline in which he never existed.

* Clayface's magic eclipse blocked out the sun and withered many plants without Sniffy to stop the alchemist.
* Chuckie is bedridden with the coronavirus without Sniffy to cure it.
* Anka is a punk rocker without Sniffy to give her a civil home.
* Goosey is a single magazine model without Sniffy to make a match for her.
* Shadowbolt is a savage warhorse without Sniffy to tame him.
* Ella is an arrested surfboard thief without Sniffy to reform her.
* Mr. Peabody and Sherman are nowhere to be seen now that Sniffy hasn't been born to be studied.
* Kaitlin was killed by a coyote in her old beagle farm without Sniffy to save her.
* And in turn, Kaitlin wasn't alive to save the American Grand Prix racers from the Hazard gang's beagle transformation spell.

Sad for his friends' awful states, Sniffy begs Aragorn for his life back. The original reality is restored, and a grateful Sniffy hugs his guardian, as well as the approaching Kaitlin. The duo then see Aragorn sprout some new wings, and he uses them to fly Sniffy and Kaitlin to the Winfield rodeo.

At his lair, Rusty hooked his victims to his brain essence machine, and the victims lament that their predicament was their own fault for abandoning Sniffy and/or lacking Halloween spirit. Rusty and Biggie ignite the machine and suck the women's essence off their bodies, but before Rusty could victimize Chuckie next, Sniffy, Kaitlin and Aragorn come to the rescue! Sniffy frees Chuckie, and Kaitlin drags the limp women aside, noticing a sheathed sword near her leg!

Rusty tries to victimized Sniffy instead, but Kaitlin blocks him with her new weapon. Rusty then draws his own sword from his walking stick, and a duel ensues. The clown disarms the tomboy, but before he could deliever a final deadly blow, Chuckie picks up the sword and flings it into Rusty's aritificial brain sockets. The freed essence revives Anka, Ella and Goosey, while Sniffy, Kaitlin and Chuckie take a last look as Rusty writhes in agony, until he explodes, leaving behind his squashed brain, and Biggie sweeps away Rusty's shattered remains, crying all the while.

As the chaos subsides, Grande arrives on his coffin sleigh, pulled by his team of musk deer. He explains to Sniffy that, despite his self-centeredness, he has saved Halloween. In the ultimate display of holiday spirit, the Grand Pumpkin rewards Sniffy with "Heart of Gold Chocolates," Kaitlin with her already delievered foam sword, Chuckie with a self help book, Anka, Ella and Goosey with beauty products, and Shadowbolt with golden horseshoes. With his task done, Grande boards his sleigh, Aragorn tells Sniffy goodbye and they wish the Oklahomans a Happy Halloween and fly off into the night.

Back home at Tulsa, Team Sniffy conclude their night with trunk-or-treating. Sniffy tells Kaitlin a lesson he learned: "No one is a failure who has friends." They then kiss under a Halloween mistletoe, a friendly couple once again.

Back to the framing device, Sherman congradulates Peabody on his epic storytelling, and the impressed dog remarks that "every dog should have a boy."
