Pumpkinhead lives in Pumpkintown, where everyone has a pumpkin for a head. But unlike the rest of his neighbors, Pumpkinhead wonders about the outside world. Fearlessly, he sets off on a journey into the unknown. Foolishly, he takes off his heavy head when he stops for a rest. Mischievous squirrels meddle, and before too long, Pumpkinhead makes a seriously silly mistake.
