Synopsis It was the night of Halloween and Plum, the plump pumpkin, was peering out of the window of his tiny shop. Plum was no ordinary pumpkin. He was grown just in time for Halloween. And only pumpkins that were carved on Halloween could travel to Pumpkin Paradise, a magical land that Plum visited every night in his dreams. Plum's dreams are about to come true when a mysterious stranger arrives shortly before midnight to buy him. With him lives a little boy called Tom, who carves Plum just in time. Plum is finally able to cross over, but when he opens his eyes he finds himself in a mysterious land. To his shock, he discovers that Tom has also crossed over. Now they must navigate this fascinating new world of talking plants, floating castles and secret societies while embarking on a series of adventures and racing against time to send Tom back to Earth.
