As usual, Casper, the Friendly Ghost, is out to make friends but the only creature willing to respond is a fat turkey worrying his wattles off about the upcoming Thanksgiving Day. Casper does all he can do to get his friend to go on a diet and lose weight but the turkey keeps eating and getting fatter. Thanksgiving arrives and here comes Farmer Jones, axe in hand, ready to execute the main course of his holiday dinner. But the farmer sees Casper and flees in panic, so Casper has a new friend...at least until next Thanksgiving.
