A big skeleton a little skeleton and a dog skeleton live in the dark cellar of a dark house on a dark hill. The skeletons venture out of their cellar one night to find someone to scare but everyone is in bed so they amuse themselves by scaring each other and playing with the skeleton animals that live in the zoo.
