When she adds that she's interested in finding a home that's made of stone and has no windows near the cemetery, the kids realize Scout must be a ghoul looking for a home for a family of vampires.

The Bailey School kids join Eddie's grandmother at the motorcycle races where they get to know Jessie, a mysterious motorcycle rider.

If Jessie wins the grand prize, she's going to build a seaside resort where Eddie's grandmother will move -- and she'll take Eddie with her! Can the kids stop Jessie from winning and keep Eddie in Bailey City where he belongs?
