Alice (Virginia Davis) is playing baseball in a local sandlot. When the tubby boy (Leon Holmes) hits the ball through the window of an abandoned house, Alice is the only one brave enough to retrieve the ball. After going in the house, Alice is knocked out by falling plaster and enters a spooky cartoon dreamland called Spookville. She rescues a cat in a blanket, who would in later Alice Comedies become Julius the Cat. The cat is chased around Spookville by ghosts and Alice steps in and saves him again. After waking up she finds the ball and when she leaves the house is confronted by a police officer.
