Yorick the resurrected skeleton and his dog Bones are invited to a party being held by a group of witches in the woods, which they decide to attend in disguises so Yorick doesn't scare anyone with his appearance. While there, he meets someone who takes a shine to him, but he feels he can't be himself around due to his need to stay in disguise and not scare her.
This experience leaves Yorick questioning himself. Who can he be now, if he can't be Yorick the jester? Well, Yorick is lead by Bones to a graveyard full of living skeletons just like him, who may be able to help him with his conundrum.

- Witch Classic: The group of witches Yorick meets in the woods are all wearing black robes and black witches' hats. They're introduced standing around a cauldron reciting the "Double, double, toil and trouble" poem, which has soup in it.
