While exploring an old, spooky mansion, Billy, a curious kid, met a ghost-Casper.

The ghost tried his best ghostly tricks but miserably failed to scare Billy.

Casper: “Boo!”

Billy: “Aww, you’re so cute! Are you lost in the mansion?”

Casper: “I am the ghost of this mansion! Fear me!”

Billy: “You should be the ghost of a comedy club! Your ‘Boo’ needs work.”

Casper tried to float through the wall but bumped into it instead.

Billy: “Need a hand, Casper?”

Casper: “This is humiliating for a ghost of my stature!”

Eventually, Billy and Casper bonded over exchanging ghost stories and enjoying a bowl of ectoplasmic popcorn.

They became mismatched friends.

You know, Casper is the least scary ghost in town, but he’s okay with that image because he finally has someone to laugh with.
