Plot
In 1790, Josh arrives in town while several villagers stare at him. Mayor Lumpy welcomes him into town and introduces him to wealthy farmer Pop and his daughter, Shelly who immediatly takes a liking to Josh. The three then show Josh to the schoolhouse where he starts his job. Later that night, Josh runs into Crazy and his gang (Disco Bear, Cro-Marmot, Lifty, and Shifty) who tell him to watch himself since Shelly is Crazy's girl. Throughout the days Josh spends in town, Crazy and his gang mischievously pull several pranks and put him through a number of cruel antics.

On Halloween night at a party at Pop and Shelly's house,  Crazy stell the story of the Headless Horseman, who was said to be the ghost of a Hessian soldier who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during a war and whose ghost haunts the town and rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head.

Frightened, Josh leaves the party and rides home through a spooky forrest. He then encounters a cloaked rider at an intersection in a menacing swamp. Unsettled by his fellow traveler's eerie size and silence, the teacher is horrified to discover that his companion's head is not on his shoulders, but on his saddle. In a frenzied race to the bridge adjacent to the cemetery, where the soldier is said to "vanish, according to rule, in a flash of fire and brimstone" upon crossing it, Josh rides for his life, desperately goading his temperamental plow horse down the Hollow. However, to the his horror, the ghost rides over the bridge, rears his horse, and hurls his decapitated head at Josh who falls off his horse.

As the horseman is about to attack Josh, the horseman pulls off his cloak to reveal himself to actually be Crazy in disguise who laughs at him. Just then, Josh sees a figure behind Crazy and tells Crazy to look behind himself. The figure is revealed to be the real Headless Horseman. The two men hold onto each other and scream as the horseman decapitates them both. The next morning at Shelly's house, she finds the heads of Josh and Crazy on her doorstep and screams.
