Sad Sack and Sarge spend the night in a spooky house and believe the occupants want to eat them, so they bind them and flee back to the camp. In the meantime, two officers are looking for the non-coms and look at the ominous mansion, discovering and freeing the two residents. Meanwhile, Sack and Sarge try and get their minds off the frightening experience by going to the base movie theater and seeing a monster movie.
