(quiet accordion music)

- [Sean, Seamus] Ahh! - Ahh, don't touch me!

- Wooooo!

Wooooo!

- [Sean, Seamus] Ahh, ahh!

- [Meg] Ooooo!

- [Sean, Seamus] Ahh, ahh!

Don't touch me!

- Woooo!

Oh!

- Well now, somethin's makin' more noise

than a bee in a jam jam.

(playful music) - A ghost!

It's after us!

(pop) - Don't worry, Grandpa.

It's just me!

There's no such thing as a ghost.

- No, there's no such thing as a ghost, all right.

Mind you, I did meet a banshee once.

(suspenseful music) - A what?

- A what?

- A banshee.

It's a bit like a ghost.

They're all over the place in Ireland.

- Tell us about one, Grandpa.

- Come on, Grandpa.

(laughs)

- Well now, it all started one fine afternoon.

(quiet marching music)

My friends Dannan and Ferny and I were hot on the trail of

- Buried treasure!

(adventurous music)

We'll be hittin' it soon, I can taste it!

- Ugh!

I'm tastin' more than treasure, Captain Piggley.

- Ooh!

There it is!

Bring 'er up, matey!

(intense music)

(pop)

(drum roll)

- Ooh!

(trumpet fanfare)

- Feast your eyes on these priceless gems, mateys!

(magical music)

- [Grandpa Piggley] There it was at last, the treasure,

a precious blob - Oooh, wow!

- [Grandpa Piggley] Of worm-infested mud.

- Wow!

- Ho, ho.

- [Elly] Piggley!

- Oh, not now, mam!

We're about to divide our pirate's treasure.

- Well, supper's in an hour.

- Jakers!

We've only got an hour left.

Now let's get this treasure stored away safely on our ship.

(adventurous music)

- [Grandpa Piggley] Treasure in hand,

we raced to our ship to sail the seas till supper.

- Welcome, flock.

I suppose you're all wondering why I called you here today.

(sad trombone)

Okay, let's pretend you're all wondering

why I called you here today.

Glad you asked.

I think it was Aristotle who said,

how about a song?

Give me a song.

And he, he was a smart guy.

(sheep burps)

Look, we're sheep, but that doesn't mean

we can't develop a little culture.

(upbeat music) We gotta sing!

We gotta dance!

We gotta hot, chot, chotty, cha.

(sheep chew loudly)

Well, okay, all right,

we'll start with the singing

and end with the hot, chot, chotty, cha.

Let's go, sheep!

("My Wild Irish Rose" by Chauncey Olcott)

♪ My wild Irish rose

♪ The sweetest flower that

I'm singing to an oil painting here.

- [Grandpa Piggley] We were having great fun,

and it was about to get even better.

(snare drum plays)

- For crimes against the Jolly Roger,

includin' tryin' to steal the treasure chest,

I, Captain Piggley, sentence you, Dastardly Dannan,

to walk the plank.

Any last words before we throw you to the sharks?

(chickens squawk)

(sad music) I have been

unjustly accused as a traitor.

The ghost of Dastardly Dannan will return for revenge.

(chickens squawk)

(adventurous music)

- Arrr!

(eery wail)

- What's that?

(eery wail)

- W-Where's it comin' from?

(shutters slam)

(bucket rattles)

(squeak)

- Maybe it's the ghost of Dasterdly Dannan!

- It couldn't be!

I'm right here.

Maybe the chickens have a stomachache.

- Or maybe it's a banshee.

- A banshee!

- A banshee?

(scary music) - Terrible, ghostlike banshee

that dresses all in black and wears a great, huge hood

over its head, you know.

It floats into your room, moving right through the walls

and soars right up to you.

Then, it starts to sing a song of doom.

Doom, doom!

(eery wail)

- Ahhh! - Ahhh!

- Ahhh!

- Banshee!

Run for your life! - It's comin' for us!

- Run for your life!

(intense music)

- Ahhhh!

- Ahhhh!

- Jakers!

That was brilliant.

There's a banshee on our ship.

(dramatic music) - There is?

- Not really.

But it sounded like one, didn't it, Dannan?

- Yes, yes, yes!

It sounded like a banshee.

Eh, I really should be goin' now.

- Hey, where you goin', Dannan?

- Eh, home.

It's gettin' late, you know.

- But you can't leave now.

There's a banshee on our ship.

- Me mother's callin'!

- No, she isn't.

- She is!

- [Elly] Piggley!

Supper's ready, darlin'.

- Ah, no.

- Ah, well, too bad, see you tomorrow, boys.

(playful music) - Wait, Dannan wait!

Tomorrow is Saturday.

We could spend the whole day together,

playin' pirates and catchin' banshees.

- Ooh, that's right, we can!

- Then, you could both stay for the night,

and we could sleep out in the barn!

- What, what, what, what, what, what!

- On our ship!

- Just like, like real pirates!

(adventurous music) - And if that banshee

comes around again, we'll catch it.

- And make it walk the plank.

- We're the three bravest pirates

on the seven seas!

- [Elly] Piggley!

Now!

- See ya about tomorrow, then.

Bring your blankets.

- [Grandpa Piggley] So, it was all set.

- See ya tomorrow!

- Right, tomorrow.

Hm, I can't wait.

- [Grandpa Piggley] The next morning,

Dannan set out for town

to pick up Ferny from his father's shop.

Ferny's dad, Don Toro, was a huge man

with an even bigger heart.

(door creaks)

- Ferny!

Are you ready to go?

(quiet suspenseful music)

- Ferny?

Ah, maybe we're not sleepin' over after all.

No pirates, or ships, or banshees.

- [Don] Buenos dias.

- Ahh!

Oh, good mornin' to ya, Don Toro.

- (Laughs) I'm sorry, Dannan.

I did not mean to scare you.

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

No, you didn't scare me.

I, I never get scared.

I was just lookin' for Fernando.

- Oh, Fernando's already at Piggley's house.

He went early this morning to see

if the banshee was still there.

- B-B-B-Banshee?

- That's what he said.

- Right, as if there is such a thing.

(inhales sharply)

(eery wail)

Is there...?

- No, there isn't.

There's no such thing as ghosts, either.

But when I was young,

I was scared of ghosts, just the same.

- You were?

- Terrified.

- But you're not scared of them now, are ya?

- No, no, no, not now.

- And why would you be?

They're not real.

What's the pointa bein' scareda somethin'

that's not even there, ha!

Banshee's are not real,

and there's no banshee in Piggley's barn.

So, there's no reason at all

why I shouldn't sleep there tonight.

(gentle music) - Maravilloso.

And if you should start feeling scared,

you have Ferny and Piggley to help you feel better.

- Oh, no!

I'd never tell them I was scared.

They'd just laugh.

(soft guitar music)

- Ah, it's too bad, little Dannan.

It seems that you believe more in banshees

than you believe in your friends.

(upbeat music)

- [Grandpa Piggley] Ah, that Saturday

was one of those magical days.

We didn't just play pirates, we were pirates.

(they all laugh)

We scuttled the mighty ship of Sir Francis Drake.

(dramatic music)

(they all laugh) Jakers, we were fearless!

(adventurous music) All in all,

we couldn't have had better adventures

had we been sailing the seven seas themselves.

Until it started to get dark.

(gulps)

(they all scream)

- Why'd you want to scare me like that for?

You shouldn't be jumpin' out at people

when they don't know you're comin'!

You boys should be ashamed!

(playful banter)

- Sheep, sheep, I'm saying, sheep!

Hello.

(sheep baa)

Hey!

There's Lassie!

Thank you.

Remember last night, when we were tryin' to sing?

Well, it stunk.

But tonight, we're gonna make it different.

We're gonna sh**t for the stars.

Tonight we're gonna go for mediocre!

(music fizzles)

Okay, we're gonna use the buddy system.

We're gonna divide up into groups.

(exciting music) Now, I want high voices

over here, low voices over there,

large voices here,

wait, short voices.

Hold it.

Stop, stop!

(crash)

(sheep thuds)

Okay, new plan.

We're all going to stand in one place.

That's perfect.

- [Grandpa Piggley] The later it got,

the more jumpy Dannan became.

(spooky music) - Ahh, hehe.

Brr, it's getting a wee bit cold.

Piggley?

Maybe we should go play in your bedroom now.

- Ha, pirates don't have bedrooms.

They live at sea.

Fire!

- Pirates do go ashore sometimes.

(dramatic music) (eggs splatter)

To, eh...

Pillage!

Yes, and eh, plunder and such!

- Stand back while I reload!

- Well, eh, I'm a little hungry, too.

(eery wail)

- Did you hear that?

- No.

(spooky music crescendos)

(eery wail)

(Piggley screams)

(they all scream)

(suspenseful music)

- Ooh, what was that?

- I don't know.

- It was the banshee.

- Are you tellin' me there is a banshee?

- Ah, there is if we pretend there is.

- What if there really is?

It could be comin' fer one of us.

Maybe we should just go into the house now?

- Are ya daft?

That banshee's taken our ship twice.

We can't just let it go, can we mateys?

- Eh, no, of course not.

(intense music)

- [Grandpa Piggley] Then I told Dannan and Ferny

to wait outside the barn,

to grab the banshee if it escaped,

while I waited inside with the trap.

(slam)

(shutter slams)

(dramatic music)

But now I wasn't so sure.

- [Spooky Voice] Piggley!

- Ahhhh!

(thud)

The banshee!

It's come to get me!

(light dramatic music)

(Dannan screams)

(splash)

(playful music) - Are you all right?

- Ya scared the livin' daylights outta me!

- It's okay, Dannan.

I just scared Piggley a bit.

- I wasn't scared.

- You said you were.

You said I scared the livin' daylights outta you.

- Well, I'm really scared right now.

- No, you're not, you're not afraid of anything, Dannan.

- Except banshees!

(eery hoot)

I really hate banshees!

- Is that why you kept tryin'

to get us to go into the house?

- You shoulda told us.

- I know, but

(eery wail)

- Whoa, hold it, stop, please,

before we make anything with ears angry!

Okay, let's face it, we can't sing.

We're baa-aa-aa-d singers,

which is strange, since you guys are Irish.

(quirky can-can music) But I'll bet you can dance.

And a one,

and a two.

Watch me, flock!

I'm a dancer, I'm a dancing fool, I'm a,

I'm an idiot, I'm dancin' all by myself here.

- I don't hear it anymore, do you?

- No.

- Come on, then.

It's time to get off this ship

and pillage my room, me hearties!

- Right!

(adventurous music)

- Wait.

- What is it, Dannan?

- Let's go back and find out

what's really makin' that noise.

- Wahoo!

But you don't have to if you don't want to, Dannan.

- I know, and I also know that banshees are not real,

and I have nothin' to be afraid of.

So, if you two will come with me?

- Of course we'll come with you.

- I'll not have some pretend banshee

making me abandon ship.

Maybe not.

- Oh, come on. (spooky music)

We'll get a flashlight.

- I don't hear a thing.

- Me neither.

- I think it's in the loft.

(shutter squeaks)

Would you like to go back in the house, Dannan?

You could keep a lookout for us there.

- No.

No, no, no, no, no.

Let's go up and find out what it is.

(suspenseful music)

- Okay, then, go on up, Ferny.

- Me?

- Yeah, we're right behind you.

- But what if...?

Are you tellin' me

(Dannan and Piggley scream)

(they all scream)

(eery wail)

(Dannan screams)

- Wait a minute!

All that noise is comin' from this drainpipe.

(wail)

(music crescendos)

♪ Bloom from my wild Irish rose

(sheep baa) Okay, one more time.

♪ My wild Irish rose

- [Ferny] It bends around this way.

- [Dannan] And goes down this way.

- [Piggley] Around the corner.

- [Dannan] Over and around.

- All the way to

- Look!

That's what's makin' all the noise!

(sheep baa)

- Ghosts! - Ghosts!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hold on, now.

Those aren't ghosts!

(light music)

They're sheep, plain old, ordinary sheep!

(sheep baa)

And that weird one.

- Ha, you were right.

They're just sheep.

- Ooh, the drainpipe was

what made them sound like a banshee.

- Dannan, that was really smart of you,

workin' it out by yourself and all.

- You two can stop gawkin' like a couple of bullfrogs

and get back on that ship!

- Okay then!

Man the mainsail!

- Aye, aye, Captain!

(happy music)

(crosstalk, playful banter)

- Just sheep, just sheep?

We are not just sheep!

I am a star, and this is my audience.

(sheep applaud)

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.

You been a great flock.

I'll be here every Thursday through Saturday,

two shows on Friday.

And now, we dance!

- [Grandpa Piggley] Ah, what an adventure it was.

Filled with banshees and pirates

and a few good friends.

- Wow! (Soft piano music)

That's the best story ever, Grandpa!

And there really wasn't a banshee after all.

Hey, where did Sean and Seamus go?

- Oooo!

- Whaaa!

(Sean and Seamus laugh)

- [Sean, Seamus] I scared ya!

- No Meg, don't worry,

I can solve the mystery of these banshees

in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

(Sean and Seamus laugh)

- You know what happens to ghosts

when you uncover them, Grandpa?

- What's that?

- You chase them away!

(playful banter)

- Ah, ha.

(chuckles)

Ah, well, now, where was I?

(happy music)

(Jakers! music)
