The plot involves a depressed witch who is 'summoned' by a pair of children, named Small and Tender, who are upset at not being able to scare anyone on Halloween. The witch turns them, and their babysitter (Bazooey), into a werewolf, ghost (previously their Halloween costumes), and Bazooey into a Frankenstein's monster. The witch then takes them to the Halloween party-in-progress at her isolated mansion on the edge of town. However, the citizens of the town get offended at the thought of real monsters in their town, and form a mob, under the leadership of the straight-laced 'Goodly'. The Witch loses her magic wand, which gets attached to a woman named Malicious, and is unable to turn Bazooey and the kids back to humans. The group of supernatural and parnormal beings is chased through the town and forest by the mob, losing them. Malicious and her partner, Rotten, misuse the wands powers, which causes alot of damage to the town, but also summons the Witch and the kids to their location. Regaining her wand, The Witch uses its power to turn Malicious and Rotten into monsters, while turning the Frankenstein, Ghost and Werewolf back into Bazooey, Tender and Small. Eventually, the Witch uses her powers to restore everything to normal, showing the town that she isn't an evil witch. The town quickly accepts The Witch, and she starts turning people into what they want to be for Halloween.

Bertrand Barabi (Henri Guybet) est un professeur de français suppléant et surveillant (« pion ») dans un lycée et internat de région. Il fréquente les cercles littéraires de sa ville et il est méprisé par ses élèves comme par les enseignants de son établissement. Bertrand Barabi ne vit que pour les beaux yeux de mademoiselle Thuillier, professeur de français. Dominique Benech (Claude Jade), sa voisine et mère esseulée d'un de ses élèves, qui nourrit à son égard de tendres sentiments, lui demande de donner des cours particuliers à son fils. Enthousiasmée par la lecture d'un des textes de Bertrand, Dominique l'encourage à écrire un roman. Bertrand poursuit la rédaction de son roman qu'il envoie bientôt à un éditeur parisien. Le livre est récompensé. Grâce à son pseudonyme, Bertrand garde un temps l'anonymat, mais les journalistes ont tôt fait de révéler l'identité de ce "Goncourt introuvable". Cependant, le succès ne tourne pas la tête de Bertrand. Et c'est avec la complicité de ses élèves qu'il ridiculise même ceux qui lui ont fait du tort, avant de se marier avec la discrète et tendre Dominique.
