After overhearing Samuel tell the kids a scary story about Whiffy the Skunk Ghost, Clifford and T-Bone get a bit spooked. Cleo takes the opportunity to play a series of naughty tricks on them. Even after she promises to stop, Clifford and T-Bone find that she's trying to trick them again. No sooner does Cleo find that her friends have left than she gets her bow stuck in a bush...and she gets sprayed by a real skunk, which she learns is not very funny.
