Plot[]
Pumpkinhead, after being embarrassed in gym class, tells everyone about his secret friend, called Veggie Man, and surprises the students by describing him as a terrifying creature, and then Thatch challenges him to show Veggie Man to everyone and prove that he is not lying. Casper, who wanted to help Pumpkinhead, finds out that Veggie Man really exists, but also discovers that he is just a plant, which is clearly not what the students are expecting.
Later, Casper decides to use a potion that Mr. Burns showed in his class as a fertilizer to increase the size of Veggie Man and thus build a big figure to take pictures of and show to the students. Thatch, after seeing the pictures, is still not convinced, and wants to see Veggie Man in person, and Ra replies that it is only possible to see him in the Forbidden Forest, without waiting for Thatch and the other students to agree to go there.
Later, Pumpkinhead finds out that the potion that Casper and his friends used for Veggie Man was the same potion used in science class, which they did not pay attention to, and the potion's function was to turn plants into dangerous creatures. Casper and his friends take the opportunity that Veggie Man has not yet transformed and use him as a puppet in the Forbidden Forest to trick the students, but Thatch eventually reveals to everyone that it is a fake, just before Veggie Man finally transforms and starts chasing the students.
Fortunately, Pumpkinhead prevents his best friend from hurting the students, and calms him down, telling him that he is fine and will stay friends with Casper, Ra, and Mantha when he leaves. Veggie Man, seeing that Pumpkinhead will be fine, leaves to live with the plants in the forest, with his best friend accompanying him.
