Fred and Barney end up with a broken wheel in the middle of a haunted forest while on their way home, and find the nearest house possible to call for help, unaware that the kindly old lady living there is a man-eating witch.
Fred learns that he is the beneficiary of the fortune of an aristocrat to whom he was kind when he was disguised as a quarry worker, but tension arises when he discovers that he isn't the only one and that the winner of the beneficiary competition gets it all.
Fred believes that "modern" technology is making life too easy and boring, and attempts to live life like an "old-fashioned" caveman, even though he is out of practice.
Fred and Barney each purchase a new C. B. system which enables them to talk to each other from their cars, but trouble appears when they power them up too much.
