- McDougall Alley was in festive mood. Two of its favorites were to be married, the culmination of a childhood romance begun and nurtured through the years in the shadow of McDougall Alley. The McDougall Alley Kids were of course invited to the wedding which through the kindness of Miriam Tilford, beloved charity worker of McDougall Alley, was to be held in the beautiful Tilford mansion. Headed by "Bubbles" "Barney" and "Faye," the Alley Kid kut-ups arrived at the Tilford home, prepared to lend their share to the nuptial ceremonies with old shoes, rice and confetti. A long, winding staircase leading from the drawing room to the balcony, proved the undoing of the McDougall Alley Kids. Each of 'em employed the smooth wooden banister as an improvised slide, and not until a casualty had been reported, did they put a halt to their antics. It was when "Fatty," descending from the balcony, fell through the floor into the cellar. The wedding took place with the McDougall Alley Kids looking on from the sidelines. But the Kids were not to be outdone. Just before the ceremony was over, they stole outside, and hitched the wedding wagon to the trunk of a tree. This of course delayed the wedding party, and caused endless merriment to the kids.

He is the guest of honor of the Royal Society of Ghost-Chasers, who regale him with tales of hair-raising and harrowing experiences. They look for evidences of fear in his countenance, but only scorn radiates therefrom. Who ever heard of the doughty Colonel fearing a mortal, much less an immortal? To prove his utter disrespect of apparitions, he agrees to sleep at the ancient Castle Clare, owned by his friend, Lord Helpus. He enters his assigned chamber and prepares for a snooze. The magic hour of midnight at last rolls 'round, and in a moment the air is filled with weird and ghostly sounds. The banshees are at work. The Colonel from his bed gives vent to these thoughts, "If I could see who makes that din, I'd bust his bloomin' coco in."

Seeking to evade the midnight prowler, the now quaking Colonel rises from his bed and flees for his life, but nothing seems proof against the advances of his awful fee.

Just as the Colonel is about to expire from fright, his life is saved by the ghost's mortal enemy, "One o'clock." With a final wail, the banshee hies itself to a neighboring graveyard.
