- Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!
- [all screaming]

Wait! Please don't go!
There's no such thing as ghosts!

[Barbie on machine]
Hi, Aunt Adele,
it's me, Barbie.

We're on our way!
My friends and I can't wait

to spend
our entire spring break

at the Windy Willows Inn.

Hey, thanks for letting us
stay with you.

We are so looking forward
to all the snow,

not to mention some
quality downtime

full of peace and quiet.

Anyway, see you soon!

Oooh!

Yeah, so it looked like a ghost
was haunting the Windy Willows,

which could put a damper
on our big spring break plans,

or it could make for
a very exciting adventure.

This is gonna be our best
spring break ever!

Woo-hoo! Spring break!

Are you gonna say that every
time some says "spring break"?

Woo-hoo! Spring break!
[laughs]

Does that answer your question?

- [phone ringing]
- It's Teresa.

- Hola.
- [all] Hi!

- Hey, there!
- Just wanted to
wish you a safe trip.

Stay warm.
I'm off to the beach.

[grunts]

- [laughing]
- Have fun!

- Bye! Don't get sunburned!
- Love ya!

[Nikki and Renee]
Miss you!

She sounds happy.

I hope you guys
aren't disappointed,

coming with me to Wisconsin
instead of Mexico

with Teresa's family.

Way more snow in Wisconsin
than Mexico.

I'm super stoked
to try something new.

I've never had a vacation
in a snowy place.

Skiing? Sledding?
Snowmobiling?

I don't know
what to do first!

It was great of your Aunt Adele
to let us stay at her inn.

Yeah. She's the best.

And I'm happy to get to spend
some time with her.

She seemed kind of
worried on the phone.

Do you blame her?
Last time we were there
we melted a cheese cow

on one of her guests.

[yelps]

[all laughing]

Ah, Harry got over it.

In fact, they're still
working together.

They're kind of partners now.

Cool.
One question.

- Are we there yet?
- Not even close.

It's a really long drive
to Wisconsin.

Ooh, maybe we should
play a game,

or do something to k*ll time.

I got just the thing.

done with the song!

Drive around a little more
until I'm finished.

Hey!
[laughing]

I can't wait to hit
the slopes.

I'm psyched about hockey.

Can you tell
I've never played?

Yep, 'cause you're holding
a lacrosse stick.

Anyone else notice
we're missing something?

Where's the snow?

Oh! You made it!

Oh, so good to see you!

- I missed you.
- Me too.

- Oh, Aunt Adele, this is Nikki.
- Hi.

- Ken.
- Hey.

-Renee.
-Hello.

- And you already know Daisy.
- Hi.

[barking]

[laughs]
Hey, there.

- Who is this?
- [Aunt Adele] Rufus.

I take care of him when
his owners are out of town.

Rufus, my man!
Give me five.

[barks]

Bring your stuff inside.
Your rooms are all ready.

It is so good
to be here again.

Although, I can't help
but notice there's no snow.

Yes, it's been
a very warm winter.

Definitely affecting business.

Well, that and other things.

[man singing]
♪ Figaro, figaro, figaro! ♪

- [all] Vlad?!
- ♪ Figarooooo! ♪

Last time we saw him
he was being arrested
for pearl smuggling.

Got off for good behavior.

Says music changed
his evil ways.

And with my tutelage,
look how fantastic he is now.

♪ Fig-fig-fig-figa
Figarooooo! ♪

You remember Harry Havarti.

He's been such a help
with our live entertainment.

Business has been
absolutely booming.

- Until, well...
the trouble started.
- What trouble?

- I am the ghost
of Jacques the Miner.
- [all gasping]

Leave now
or you are all doomed!

[laughs evilly]

That trouble.

You think it was
really a ghost?

How could it be?
Ghosts aren't real.

Says you.
In the old country I was haunted
by a ghost every single day.

Or maybe it was just my ex-wife.

All I know is ever since
that thing started showing up

business has been
going downhill.

Someone is pranking us.

Probably that
inn down the street

trying to steal
our business.

Everybody knows there's
no such thing as ghosts.

I wouldn't be
so quick to judge.

[Barbie]
Morton Rise?

That's Doctor Rise to you.

You're a real doctor?

I thought that was just
a character you played
in the escape room.

You will be locked
in this time machine forever!

[laughing maniacally]

The escape room business
proved to be... unreliable.

So I went back to school,

and now I'm a full-fledged
doctor of ghostology.

- That's a thing?
- It is according to
my internet diploma.

And I intend to capture
the ghost of Jacques the Miner

to prove to the whole world
that Doctor Morton Rise

is the greatest
ghost hunter ever!

[laughs]

[clanging]

Just put that on my bill.

Maybe we should sleep
in the camper tonight?

Come on, Daisy. We both know
ghosts aren't real.

I know it, you know it,
but that ghost
doesn't seem to know it.

[chuckles]
Goodnight, Daisy.

- [thud]
- [gasps]

- Did you hear that?
- [stutters]
Probably just a woodpecker.

[thud]

Pretty big woodpecker!

[loud thudding]

What is that?!

[gasps]

[gasps]

So glad we didn't
sleep in the camper.

We could always visit
the cheese museum tomorrow.

May as well.

With no snow we gotta find

some way to spend spring break.

Woo-hoo. Spring break.

Hey, did you see the ghost?

- Ghost?
- Where?

It chopped down a tree outside
and almost smushed the camper!

- [gasps]
- Seriously?

No way!

Something's going on,

and I say we solve this mystery.

You sure that's a good idea?

I mean, a tree falling
is still pretty dangerous,

even if the thing that chopped
it down isn't real.

All the more reason to find
the culprit and stop it.

- [owl hoots]
- [rooster crows]

One thing's for sure,

this tree was supposed to fall

right on your camper.

Who would do that?

- Someone with really bad aim?
- Adele, listen,

I know it might not seem
like the right time,

but this ghost problem
is destroying our business.

If you want,
I could buy you out,

free you up to pursue
less risky propositions.

Oh, I could never sell
the Windy Willows, Harry.

- It means too much.
- Don't worry, Aunt Adele.

My friends and I will get
to the bottom of this.

Oh, my sweet Barbie.
Just be careful, OK?

Come on, Harry.
Let's set up for tonight's show.

[barking]

Wow, Ken.
Rufus really likes you.

I know. It's almost like he's
trying to tell me something.

What is it, boy?
Did someone fall in a well?

[groans]
[barking]

- [both gasping]
- Footprints?

How does a ghost
have footprints?

I don't know, but maybe Rufus
can help us follow the tracks.

Sniff, boy!

This is a good place
to look for clues.

Where the ghost first appeared.

If the ghost comes around,
I'll suck him up!

Good plan. Except for the fact
that he's a ghost
and that's a vacuum.

- I found something!
- What is it?

A really big dust ball!

Look at this thing!
It's huge!

Daisy, turn on the...

- [ghostly moaning]
- [all gasping]

- What was that?
- The ghost!

Maybe we should leave.
He sounds busy.

- [vacuum whirrs]
- [ghostly howl]

Wait. That's no ghost.
It's...

Oh, my aching tummy.

The cheese curd casserole
did not agree with me.

- Ah, what're you ladies up to?
- Nothing.

- Except looking for ghosts.
- Well, this is your lucky day.

I just happen to be an expert.

My ectothermometer
says the cosmic force

is very strong this way.

- So we go the other way?
- Yep.

[ghostly moaning]

- Did you hear that?
- How could we miss it?

[stairs creaking]

[ghostly moaning]

What on earth could be
making that terrible sound?

It's not from Earth.
It can't be.

Whatever it is, I'm ready.

There's nothing here.

[ghostly moaning]

Nothing but that terrible sound.

It's gotta be coming
from somewhere!

[all gasping]

[moaning]

[vocalizing]

[yelps]

Oops.

- [Vlad groans]
- Sorry, Vlad.

We thought you were the ghost.

What are you doing up here?

Hm. I could ask you
the same thing,

But I won't
because I don't care.

This is my special place.

It gives me great joy to
express myself through my music.

I must practice for my
big performance tonight.

Alone!

I think we can cross him
off the suspect list.

- Why?
- Because he wants
the show to go on.

He would never
scare people away.

- Except with his singing.
- [laughs]

I wonder why this room
is here in the first place.

A secret room
only has one purpose...
keeping secrets.

[sniffing]

This ghost must be
in good shape.

He walked for miles.

Can't they just appear
and disappear?

Why would a ghost
need to walk?

Because he was trying to reach
his step goal for the day.

[laughs]
Hmm.

The tracks end here.
But how can they?

[barking]

Rufus found something!

"Abandoned mine.
Keep out or else."

If there's
a mine around here,

there's got to be
an entrance nearby.

Whoa!

Like right here!
I think we're standing
on a hidden trap...

[both yelling]

Wow. This place must be
a million years old.

Guys, check it out.

It's a diary of someone
named Jacques La Bloc.

And he was a miner.

"Ever since they found gold
under the Windy Willows

people won't stop trying
to get me out of my house."

Gold under the Windy Willows?

And sounds like people
wanted it bad.

Listen to this.
"Today that banker fella

finally managed
to get me evicted,

but the jokes on him.

I will never leave.
Alive or dead."

Whoa. That's why
the miner's ghost

is haunting
the Windy Willows.

We gotta tell Barbie.

- [line trilling]
- [beeping]

No answer!

[both yelling]

[grunting]

No bars.

Well, at least
we found the mine.

There's no way we can
get back out the way we came.

[sniffing]

- [barks]
- Hold on, pal. Check it out.

The dirt on the pick is fresh.

Someone's been digging
here recently.

- [barks]
- These aren't antiques.

They're computer print-outs.

Including a copy of the deed
to the Windy Willows.

[barking]

Alright, alright.
What is it, buddy?

- [chuckles menacingly]
- [both gasping]]

[ghostly moaning]

I totally don't
believe in ghosts,

but I totally think
we should run.

- [yelps]
- Right now!

- [evil laugh]
- [screaming]

[screaming]

- Oh, no, not that way!
- [screaming]

[yells]

Huh?

[yells]

[panting]

I think we lost him.
Are you OK?

Uh-huh.
You OK?

[whimpers]

[both gasping]

[electronic buzzing]

Here, ghosty, ghost.

Barbie, are you back?

We have to show you something.

[yelps]

[groaning]

Ah! A ghost!

This is good.

Maybe try a little more...
scary.

That's it.
Own it.

Now, give me spooky,
like you're coming to get me.

- [Nikki] Huh? Who's there?
- Whoa!

Ohh... It's just you.

I thought I finally had proof
that ghosts exist.

I don't know about ghosts
but my friends and I

definitely found proof
of something going on.

This diary is fascinating.

It's all about life
in the s.

And you do not wanna know
what they used for
toilet paper back then.

[chuckles]
[yelps]

- [grunts]
- Huh?

What the...?

Is that a trap door?

And a ladder.
Let's go down it.

Do I have to?
It's so dark and small.

You can stay up there and wait
for the ghost if you want.

Coming!

Daisy? Renee?
Where'd they go?

Maybe they met the ghost.

Lucky.

[panting]

Yes!

[gasps] No!

[yelling]

- No!
- On the plus side,

I think we
got away from the ghost.

I wouldn't be so sure!

[yelping]

[yelling]

[barks]

- [gasps]
- Brakes! Brakes!

Barbie!
If we don't make it

I have to tell you something!

[yelling]

We made it!

Whoo!

So... uh... what were you
gonna say before?

Uh... that I really don't

like your blueberry pancakes.

You never use
enough blueberries.

Hmm.

[creaking]

- [evil laughter]
- Run!

This is a long way down.

We're in a mine or something.

Yeah.
But that's not mining equipment.

That's a WIFI enabled
remote projector.

[panting]

You know me so well.

[yelling]

[crash]

[yelling]

[yelling]

[growling]

[roaring]

[yelling]

Hey! You can't take that!

[yelling]

This doesn't make any sense.

Where could they have gone?

[gasps]

Daisy!

You are not gonna believe
what we found.

[evil laughter]

Brake!
Brake!

- Nice.
- Thanks.

- [yelling]
- [crash]

[sirens approach]

[Aunt Adele]
What's all the racket about?

Sheriff Mosley.

They stole my scooters!

Sorry, but we were
being chased by a ghost.

A ghost?

Or at least someone pretending
to be a ghost.

[all] Harry Havarti?!

How did you know?

'Cause he was
the only one not here?

Well, that, and the fact
that he seemed so determined

to get the inn away
from my aunt.

I could buy you out.

Free you up to pursue
less risky propositions.

That did seem odd.

Business was good
but not that good.

Harry discovered there was
still gold in the mine

right under the Windy Willows.

He must have found the secret
room, too, and read the diary.

So he used the projector
and created the ghost

of Jacques the miner
to scare people away.

Hoping that would
convince Aunt Adele
to sell the inn to him

so he could keep
all the gold for himself.

- Exactly.
- Fine, fine!

It's all true, and I would have
gotten away with it

if it wasn't for you lousy kids
and your annoying dog.

You're coming with me.

So there's no ghost?

Afraid not.

But what about the show?
It can still go on, yes?

Oh, I don't know.

So many guests have
been scared away.

Who wants to stay
in a haunted house?

You'd be surprised.

Huh.

Welcome to the Windy Willows,

Wisconsin's most haunted house.

Step this way if you dare.

- [ghostly moaning]
- [all gasping]

So spring break didn't turn out
quite as we planned it.

But in some ways it was better.

We solved a mystery

and helped Aunt Adele's business
grow even bigger.

I still don't believe in ghosts

but I guess when you make
the best of a crazy situation

anything is possible.

[ghostly howling]

[chuckles]
