Lydia's favourite tree, Spooky, is slated to be cut down so the road can be widened. Beetlejuice, in a fit of generosity, grants Spooky with the gift of locomotion, allowing the tree to run rampant through the town. Finally, kind-hearted Spooky is replanted somewhere he can be really happy.

Beetlejuice's neighbours kick him out, so he tries to be a 'good neighbour.' But unfortunately, Beetlejuice's idea of a good neighbour isn't quite the same one his friends have.

Beetlejuice says he deserves a 'pat on the back' and he gets one, in the form of a weird little guy with an Irishoid accent who actually grows out of his back. Pat then proceeds to get Beetlejuice in a lot of trouble with the Mayor, and only Lydia has the insight to help him out of it.
