- Okay, guys.

(ominous music)

Where are you?

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

I know you're doing
the whole hiding thing,

but I'm not gonna fall for it this time

so you might as well give it up.

- [Both] Boo!

- Uh, I knew that was coming.

- Hey, no fair.

- Aw, I'm sorry, okay, get on the bed,



climb up there and get cozy.

Are you guys ready for a Deadtime Story?

- Which one?

- Ghost Knight, as in knight
in shining armor knight.

- Cool.

- Is he a good knight or a bad knight?

- I don't know.

- Yes you do.

- I bet it's a bad knight.

- Could be.

- Is there a castle and stuff too?

- Yep and even a princess, are
you guys ready to be scared?

Okay, chapter one.

Look out, Cody Adams screamed as



he braced himself for disaster.

Danger was headed his way and
it was headed his way quickly.

- Hey watch where you're
going you crazy old kook!

- You watch where you're going!

I almost ran into that horse of yours!

- What horse?

- I've no idea, the man's insane.

- [Cody] Watch out G.T.!

- Jeevers you're a
menace to this community.

- Me, what about the
metal-headed mad man on a horse?

If I hadn't swerved to get out of his way,

I'd have been trampled by
that monstrous beast of his.

He's the menace around here,

why isn't anybody ever
concerned about him?

- Take it up with the board
and stay off the road.

(gentle music)

Holy smokes!

You put a lot of power behind that swing.

- Thanks G.T.

- You're a natural, one of these days

I'm gonna be watching you on TV.

- I'm not that good Grandpa Tom.

- Ah you really are.

Better than most your age or mine.

- Hey Ben!

- Hey Cody!

- Oh.
- Sorry G.T.

- Well it's one way to beat me.

- What you doing out here?

- Just playing a round of
golf with my grandfather.

What are you doing?

- Just getting Mr. Jensen
going, wanna hang out?

- Can I G.T.?

- Your grandmother will
kill me if she finds out

I'm playing golf without you again.

We're supposed to be bonding this weekend

while she's away, remember?

- We're already bonded Grandpa Tom.

Besides, who's gonna tell her?

- All right.

You kids take my cart.

John?
- Yeah?

- Can I ride with you so
these boys can have some fun?

- Mhm.

- Be back in time this
afternoon to cheer me on

to victory in the croquet match.

- Will do G.T.

- Alright and stay on the property,

you got any questions,
call me, 555 GOAT, alright.

- See you later Grandpa.

- 555 GOAT?

What's your number, 555 PIG?

- So where do you wanna go?

- [Ben] Just drive, I'll
show you when we get there.

- Are you sure we won't
get in trouble for this?

- Not if we don't get caught.

Dude I'm telling you the
castle's the coolest thing

on this property and it's real too!

Some rich guy brought it
over here from England

like 200 years ago stone by stone.

- I know but G.T. said
no one's allowed near it,

'cause it's dangerous and falling down.

- Dude, that's what all the adults say.

But the real reason why no one
wants to go near that castle

is because it's haunted.

(wind blowing)

(horse neighing)

(dramatic music)

♪ Can you hear the scream ♪

♪ And will you make it now ♪

♪ Is that a dream ♪

♪ Or just him ♪

♪ This is your nightmare now ♪

(evil laughing)

(wind blowing)

- That was weird.

Where's that wind eve come from?

- It wasn't wind, it was one of the ghosts

heading back to the castle.

- Oh please!

- That castle's loaded with ghosts,

lots of people have died
horrible deaths in there,

including the guy who built it.

- What happened to him?

(groaning)

Then the guy who owned the castle before

Shady Acres bought the land
got his head chopped off too.

- You're full of it.

- Am not, ask my dad about what happened

to the guy who took care
of the property beforehand.

- What, did he get his
head chopped off too?

- No, he disappeared.

He went into the castle
and never came out.

(dramatic music)

Or at least not the way he went in.

- So he didn't disappear?

- Not for good, but he disappeared
for like two whole days

when they finally found the guy,

he was hiding in the woods
behind the golf course.

His clothes were all bloody and torn like

he'd been through battle and
he was clutching his throat.

All he could say was, night, black night.

He just kept repeating
it over and over again.

Even though it was daytime
when they found him.

- So what happened to the guy?

- He ended up in a
hospital 'cause whatever

happened to him inside that
castle drove him insane.

You wanna turn back?

- No, I definitely wanna see this place.

- Yes!

(dramatic music)

Wow, this place is amazing.

It really is a castle.

- Duh, what did you think it was gonna be?

- I don't know, I guess
I just didn't think

it was gonna be so cool.

So how do we get in?

(sinister music)

- I don't know, I've
never been inside before.

- What?

- I've been at the building in
the back of the castle though

my dad took me in there once.

It's where the guy who took care

of the property before my dad disappeared.

- I thought you said he
disappeared inside the castle?

- Yeah but he went into
the storage building

in the back of the castle first.

Dude, come on, I'll show
you, it's really cool too.

(dramatic music)

Oh here, help me out with this.

(door creaking)

(horse neighing)

Told you this place was cool.

- What's up with all the horse stuff?

- This must have been part of the stable.

Before all the horses died
mysterious deaths too.

(wind blowing)

(door slamming)

Uh oh, maybe this is what happened

to that groundskeeper guy
before he disappeared.

- That's not even funny.

- I'm not trying to be funny.

- Come on, let's get out of here.

(door rattling)

It won't open.

- Maybe there's another way out.

Come on, help me look.

- Okay.

- Hey, I think I found it.

(dramatic music)

Uh Cody, who lit those candles up there.

- I don't know, I thought
you were making all this up.

- Think again pal.

What are you doing, let's
just get out of here.

- Wait, I have to see this.

- What the rug on the wall?

- It's not a rug, it's a tapestry.

- We're in a haunted castle and

you're interested in the decorations?

- It's not a decoration, I
saw a show about castles once,

in medieval times, they used
tapestries to tell stories.

- What are you talking about,

I don't see any words on this thing.

- It's the pictures that told the story.

See, there's the castle, this castle,

only it's not here at Shady
Acres, it's somewhere else.

Probably England, and there's the king!

Sitting in his throne,
holding a really cool sword.

And there's a queen and a princess.

- Great story, let's get out of here.

- Wait, it looks like there
was a terrible battle,

and it looks like the king
and queen were killed,

by this guy, you see, he's
holding the king's sword.

- He's holding the princess prisoner too.

Cody, check this out, it's a picture

of the castle here at Shady Acres.

- Forget that, look at this!

This must have been the guy

that worked here before your father.

- Man I told you I wasn't
making this stuff up.

- He's clutching his throat.

Do you know what this picture means?

Means that somebody's still
working on this tapestry.

- Man that's it, I'm out of here!

(dramatic music)

- Come on.
- Let's just get out of here.

(dramatic music)

(baaing)

Don't answer the phone
while you're driving!

- I have to, it's my grandfather.

(baaing)

Hey G.T.

- [G.T.] You sound winded,
is everything alright?

- Everything's fine G.T.

- [G.T.] Where are you,

the croquet match is already underway.

- We're headed over there right now.

- [G.T.] Did you just try
to call me a minute ago?

- No.

- [G.T.] Then I think there's
something wrong with my phone

hang up and call me back again, will ya,

I wanna see if this
thing is working right.

- Okay.

(dialing)

555.

- GOAT.

(dialing)

Do we really have to go
to the croquet match?

Ugh.

- Hello?

- [Woman] Hello?

- G.T.?

- [Woman] Help me.

Help me.

- You really are a Speckled Headed Cuckoo

if you think we're
gonna forfeit this game.

- Those are the rules, if
your partner's not here,

the Yellow Bellied Sap
Suckers have to forfeit.

Look it up in the book.

- G.T. you okay?

- Of course I'm okay, why
didn't you call me back?

- We did but some girl answered the phone

and when we tried back, the line was busy.

- Jeevers is right Tom,
since Goobers isn't here

and we've beaten the
Gray Haired Chickadees,

the Cuckoos automatically win the trophy.

- Not without a fight they don't,

'cause my grandson here is
gonna be playing for Goobers.

- Wha, what?

- I can't play croquet
G.T., I don't even know how.

- Trust me, it's easy.

I hope you're ready to lose my friend.

- According to the rule book,

they are allowed to have a stand in.

- Fine, let's get this show on the road.

(upbeat music)

- Alright Cody, you can do this,

just get your ball through the
last wicket and hit the pole.

- Right, like that's gonna happen.

- Just concentrate, you can do it.

(dramatic music)

- Yes, that's my boy.

(applause)

- Uh Cody, isn't that
the girl from the rug?

- Yeah.

- Now you must help me.

(dramatic music)

- No fair!

- What?

- That grandson of yours cheated.

- Are you serious?

- Yes I'm serious, that
little friend of his

just kicked the ball right
into the pole for him.

- His friend was standing
beside me the whole time.

- Not that friend, that little
girl with the party hat!

- What little girl with a party hat?

- The princess kid, the one that's

always making trouble around here.

Mark my words, that murderous mad man

is gonna come looking
for her any minute now.

- Jeevers, you may have
an imaginary friend,

my grandson does not, we won
that trophy fair and square.

- Ha, hardly, but if
it means so much to you

that you gotta cheat, then by all means

go ahead and take it
because I intend to win

the bigger trophy next week
in the golf tournament anyway!

- He's been out practicing

every morning at the crack of dawn!

- Oo, I'm really scared not.

- I can't wait to tell Lord Umberland

about that grandson of yours.

And now that he's playing
with that little girl,

there's sure to be trouble around here.

(dramatic music)

- So Jeevers saw the ghost too?

- Yup.

- Do Cody and Ben tell
G.T. that Jeevers was

telling the truth and that the
princess kicked the ball in?

- [Babysitter] Nope.

- Why not?

- 'Cause then G.T. would think

they had imaginary friends too, right?

- Well Cody and Ben didn't have the chance

to talk to each other about
what happened that day

until later that night.

- Can you believe we're the
only ones that heard that girl?

I mean besides Jeevers.

- Yeah, I know, maybe we
should try and talk to him

to see what he knows about her.

- If we do that, he's
gonna want the trophy back

and G.T. will freak.

- Wait, Cody, still there?

- Yeah, can you hear me?

- Hello, Cody?

- [Princess] Yes, I can hear
you, now you must hear me.

You and your friend are in grave danger,

it is time to repay your debt.

Meet me at the castle at midnight.

Otherwise you will not wake
to see the light of day.

(dramatic music)

- Can't believe we're doing this.

- It's not like we've a choice.

(dramatic music)

- Where are we supposed
to meet this ghost anyway?

- You got me.

(dramatic music)

- Welcome brave knights,
I am Lord Umberland,

protector of her royal
highness, the Princess Gianna.

She is expecting you.

- That's the guy that
Jeevers was gonna talk to.

- And so he did.

- You know Jeevers?

- That I do and I do so enjoy his company.

Befuddled as he may be.

But alas Jeevers is no match for the

unearthly presence that rules this castle.

- And what unearthly
presence would that be?

- You will learn soon enough.

Enter the castle as you
did earlier this day.

The Princess Gianna
will receive you there.

(dramatic music)

- Hello?

Looks like we're about
to have tea with a ghost.

- Great.

- [Cody] Check it out,
looks like somebody already

had tea here today.
- No way, it's Jeevers!

He's even got on his stupid pom-pom hat.

- Uh Ben, that kinda looks like--

- That's right, now you
too are part of my story.

It is customary to bow before a princess.

- You want us to bow?

(laughing)

- Actually I was just kidding.

- Great, a ghost with a sense of humor.

- Please, sit, we haven't much time.

- So let me get this
straight, you want Ben and I

to fight the guy that wiped
out your entire kingdom

and took your father's sword?

- Yes, until Exultemer's in my hands,

I will forever be held prisoner here.

- And the guy who wiped out your kingdom

and took the Mortimer sword,

is that big scary looking
guy from the tapestry?

- Yes.

The black knight is Bardarf

and the sword's name is Exultemer.

- It was nice and all for you to help me

at the croquet match but
I'm gonna have to pass

on getting my head chopped
off by this Barford guy.

- If you don't agree to fight Bardarf,

you're going to get your
head chopped off anyway,

he's out looking for you now.

- Why is he looking for us?

- Because he knows you are a threat.

- We're no threat to that guy,

what the heck's he got to worry about?

- Exultemer, without it he's nothing,

without it he will lose
his power and return

to the dark place from whence he came.

- Now that you have contacted
the Princess Gianna,

Bardarf knows that the
princess will try to

engage your help to regain Exultemer.

- Wait a minute, we didn't
contact her, she contacted us.

- To the contrary, I would
not have been able to

cross realms if you had not
reached out to me first.

- With your phone.

- I never called her on my phone.

I didn't even know this
castle had a phone.

Look, you can check the
numbers I've dialed.

Mhm, it's right here,

555 G-H-O-S-T, GHOST.

- I must have dialed the wrong number

when I was calling G.T.

- You were supposed to dial GOAT.

- I know.

- Our stories are forever entwined,

if you don't find Bardarf
and win back Exultemer,

I will not be able to weave
a happy ending for any of us.

Bardarf will search for you
every night from dusk until dawn

then your fates will be out of my hands.

(dramatic music)

- No way Cody and Ben had
to fight the Barfin guy.

- Yep and it wasn't gonna be easy.

- How are they supposed to
fight without weapons and stuff?

- Well that's exactly what
Cody and Ben wanted to know.

According to Princess Gianna, the only way

for Cody and Ben to fight
Bardarf was in a joust.

- What's that?

- Well it's when two
knights fight one another

with long poles on horseback.

- But Cody and Ben don't
have any horses or poles.

- No, they don't.

- So what do they do?

- Why don't we find out.

Cody was sure that he and Ben were doomed

as the prepared themselves
to fight Bardarf.

- Are we seriously gonna try
and joust this ghost knight

with a couple of golf clubs?

- Do you have any other ideas.

- No.

- You must great Bardarf on the
battle field before engaging

you will then cross paths and face off.

Once you have engaged, the
only way to defeat Bardarf

is to knock off his helmet and expose him

for the dark spirit he is.

Only then will you be
able to reclaim Exultemer.

- Piece of cake.

- Do not let the darkness touch you

or you too will become as
Bardarf, be brave of heart

and pure of spirit and you will triumph.

- Right now, I don't
feel brave of anything.

- Bardarf returns.

(dramatic music)

- Do not worry, I'm with you in spirit.

- Oh you've got to be kidding me.

- Looks like he's waiting
for us to greet him.

Let's do this.

(dramatic music)

(horse neighing)

(dramatic music)

- [Ben] I can't believe we're doing this.

- [Cody] Me neither.

(dramatic music)

(horse neighing)

(dramatic music)

(roaring)

(dramatic music)

- Aw man, now look what he's got.

That thing's like six feet long.

- Quick, grab the nine iron.

- Here.

- I can't drive and joust, you do it.

I'm gonna pass him on your
side so you can swing.

Here we go.

(dramatic music)

- Oh man we're doomed!

(evil laughing)

(dramatic music)

- Let's get another club.

- Okay, you swing, I drive.

- Okay.

(dramatic music)

- Way to go, next time try
to knock him off the horse.

- It's not gonna happen, he's
too high up, it's impossible.

- [Man] Fore!

- I've a better idea, grab a club.

(horse neighing)

- Are you crazy?

You're gonna play golf now?

- Hey Bardarf, why don't
you come and get us?

(dramatic music)

- Oh dude, that was awesome!

(dramatic music)

- Aw man, now he's coming
at us with Mortimer!

- Keep shootin'.

- Ah!

(dramatic music)

Ah, come on!

(groaning)

(dramatic music)

Wow, way to go!

- We still got to get that
helmet off of him, remember?

(dramatic music)

(hissing)

- Whoa, that was creepy.

(dramatic music)

- I believe this belongs to you.

- It would be more appropriate
if you got down on one knee

so I could thank you properly.

- Seriously?

- Seriously.

You too.

For being brave of heart
and pure of spirit,

I knight thee Sir Cody and Sir Ben.

I shall forever be indebted to you both.

(gentle music)

- The end.

- Hey!

- That can't be the end.

(laughing)

- Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Okay here's what really happened,

the day after Cody and
Ben defeated Bardarf,

they couldn't help
going back to the castle

to see if Princess Gianna was there.

And now that she was
free to leave, she had.

She did however let them know that

their story together hadn't ended at all.

- I can't believe that Princess
Gianna left us more pictures

- I know right, oh check this one out.

This one's my favorite so far.

Man, I can't believe we're knights.

- Tell me about it.

I think I like this one the best.

- Yeah, yeah, that one's cool too!

Uh Cody, you might wanna
take a look at this one.

- [Cody] That's Bardarf's
spirit, isn't it?

- Yeah, and it's headed straight for Jee--

- Well if it isn't the croquet cheaters.

(dramatic music)

(screaming)

(screaming)

(screaming)

(screaming)
