Plot
Lumpy is directing a play and Drama is rehearsing for the lead. Silhouette comes to sweep the stage, when her shadow makes scary shapes to scare her. Lumpy's attention is turned to Silhouette trying to fight off her shadow in a rather intriguing display. Lumpy decides give Silhouette the lead role of the play, much to Drama's disappointment.

That night, a full audience gathers at Lumpy's theater. Silhouette nervously makes her way onstage. Once The Mole shines a spotlight, her shadow makes a surprising entrance. While afraid of it at first, Silhouette is motivated by the excited crowd. She and her shadow pull quite a performance for the audience.

Drama enviously watches from behind the curtain. But then she gets a clever idea. She dons a black leotard, similar to the one Silhouette is wearing, which conceals her tail and makes her resemble Silhouette. As the blue groundhog goes for a break, Drama trips her and breaks her leg.

Just as her plan went, Lumpy mistakes Drama for Silhouette and allows her to continue the performance. However, her shadow isn't as lively. Things spice up once Silhouette peeks through the curtain. Her shadow starts beating up Drama's shadow, somehow injuring Drama herself.

The two shadows merge together and form one big shadow with wings. It flies over the crowd, to their and Lumpy's disbelief. Then as it spins around, Drama is revealed to be tied to a rope. Silhouette also turns out to be the one holding the rope from above the stage. The Mole unknowingly shines the light on the rope, causing it to catch fire.

In shadow view, the rope and Drama form the shape of a lit bomb, exploding because of the flame. Silhouette returns to sweep up the bits of Drama left on the floor and is quickly greeted by a cheering audence. The Mole forms a monstrous shadow puppet with his hand and bites her shadow's head off, somehow decapitating Silhouette.
