The story: Mr. Hackles is a greedy old man.
He owns the local variety store and everyone in town seems to have a debt with him.
Mr. Hackles keeps track of all the money that is owed to him on handwritten I.O.U.'s.
Every year on Halloween, Mr. Hackles invites all the children in town to come to his house.
Each child has an opportunity to find their family's I.O.U.'s and if they do, their family will be freed of their debts.
No child has found the I.O.U.'s yet, but that doesnt stop them from trying.
But this year, Mr. Hackles will get a very interesting trick or treat himself.
