STORY
Part One: Cat-Loweeen
Benjamin Thompson, the Junkyard's clever cat, invites his friend Cowboy - a black cat from town - to the Junkyard Halloween festival. When Cowboy asks if he can bring a "few friends," the rest of the Junkyard animals decide to design the entire event just for the visiting cats. The mice pick the name "Cat-loween" for their honored guests.
