Dave inherits the Chesley Estate and is excited to show the boys. Unknown to Dave, a ghost (JP Lester) is excited to have the opportunity to scare him in order to get the Ghost of the Year award. After the ghost's first failed attempt, Dave has Simon bring the things in from the car and Theodore starts painting while Alvin sets off looking for ghost tracks. The ghost fails three more times at scaring the boys. After failing yet again (mistaken for Alvin), the ghost sleeps with them. In the morning, they find out he is a ghost and take off running. When the ghost accidentally plays a record, he flies away in terror as well.
