About this movie
The Donald Duck cartoon in which Witch Hazel helps Huey, Dewey, and Louie get back at their uncle.
Plot summary
The film opens with the song "Trick or Treat for Halloween", the lyrics of which tell the film's moral – one must be generous on Halloween or face trouble.
One Halloween night, a witch named Hazel takes great joy in scaring bats on a clock tower and a cat on fence. But then she gets scared by a jack-o'-lantern and hides behind a tree. The jack-o-lantern turns out to be part of Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s costumes as they go trick-or-treating. When the trio goes to their uncle Donald Duck's house, Donald decides to prank the boys (giving them a "trick" instead of a treat). Instead of giving them candy, he puts firecrackers in their bags and then pulls a string that dumps a bucket of water on their heads. After Donald bids farewell to the boys, the discouraged nephews go and sit on the curb.
