Toons.TV Description[]
King Pig is attacked by zombies who want to eat...his huge pile of candy! He's helpless until Bubbles - the Orange Bird - comes trick or treating. Bubbles really can't bear the sight of zombies eating candy, so he must stop this right away.
Plot[]
On Halloween night, King Pig was alone in his castle, feasting on a large pile of candy. When a trick-or-treater came to his doorstep, he immediately shut the door and went back to his candy. A few seconds later, the same trick-or-treater knocked on the door again, but this time, to King Pig's dismay, he revealed himself to be a Zombie Pig. Multiple zombies came in and started eating the king's candy.
Outside, another trick-or-treater, Bubbles, came to the doorstep giggling. The zombies opened the door, and Bubbles, unafraid of them, asked for candy. Without hesitation, he hopped over to the large pile of candy and started filling his sack as King Pig, hiding under a drawer, watched on in anger. When he turned to leave, one Zombie Pig bit his sack and pulled. However, his teeth became dislodged from his mouth in the process, and Bubbles laughed at him. He turned around again, but was blocked by a horde of Zombie Pigs. Bubbles, however, was able to make short work out of them.
Bubbles threw a zombie through a window, and he landed in a graveyard. He rang a bell that was hanging over a well, and more Zombie Pigs came out of multiple graves via conveyor belts. King Pig, who had snuck a large amount of candy into a pull wagon, was making his way out of the castle when the huge wave of zombies approached. Bubbles, realizing he would be unable to take down the Zombie Pigs in the same way as before, inflated to shove all of the zombies out of the castle. The only pig who was still in the castle was King Pig, who began to cry when he discovered that his pull wagon had somehow been emptied out.
Bubbles felt bad for King Pig, and he granted him a single red gumball as he left the castle, which the king instantly ate. Unfortunately, the dislodged teeth of the zombie who had earlier bitten at Bubble's sack came up to the king and began to chase him as the episode ended.
