Plot summary[]
As the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village are celebrating their annual Hallowe'en festival, a dangerous hanadak enters the clearing. Wicket W. Warrick rallies the other Ewoks to drive it away with blue dlock plant leaves,[2] which appease the beast and compel it to leave.[3] However, the distractions allow a group of Duloks to infiltrate the Ewok village and raid the harvest store.[3] There they accidentally capture Chief Chirpa and bring him back to their camp with the rest of their booty. Warrick and his friends Teebo and Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka give chase.[4]
At the Duloks' camp, the chief, Gorneesh,[4][5] orders the booty opened, revealing an angered Chirpa. The Duloks tie him to a baccy tree,[4] thinking they can ransom him. However, Chirpa's shouting annoys the Duloks and leads to a squabble[6] that leads Kneesaa, Teebo, and Warrick to the camp. Warrick frees Chirpa,[6] who bests the Duloks in a fight and allows the Ewoks to escape.[7]
