It stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as two adventurous little girls who discover that their Great Aunt Sophia has been trapped and cursed by her evil twin sister Agatha.

During the Halloween season, they visit Christine's cold and cruel Aunt Agatha (Cloris Leachman) to ask for a loan, which is immediately refused.

The first person they meet is a homeless man who dreams of money and stardom, Mr. N (Meshach Taylor), who offers to help the girls because they should not be on such a dangerous journey without an adult.

Kelly, Lynn and Mr. N visit a phony psychic to ask where they are able to find the witches gathering that Aunt Agatha will attend that night.

Lulu is unable to answer and instead they use the wand to find the location and set off again by hitching a ride on a pumpkin truck.

They get dropped off near a woods and find a small house deep inside, the home of a man named Oscar (Phil Fondacaro) who wishes to be taller.

Kelly, Lynn, Mr. N and Oscar turn up at the gathering in costumes in hopes of fitting in and they oversee the events inside.

Aunt Agatha reveals the story of her spell on her sister to the crowd while Mr. N and Oscar create a plan to try to get her to hand over the moonstone, which she does, intrigued by their promise to double her power.

Lynn places the moonstone on the floor, and then Aunt Agatha breaks her end of the promise, threatening to turn everybody into animals forever.

Mr. N flies down the staircase and snatches the moonstone away in his beak, while Kelly escapes from George's watch, and the girls flee upstairs to free Sophia together.

Kelly and Lynn thank their new friends for helping them out: Mr. Gravedigger for his courage and bravery when standing up to "you know who," Oscar for his fabulous plans and distractions, and Mr. N for being their first companion who looked out for them on the road.
