Obie and Bingie cut shadow puppets from paper. The shadow of a bat comes to life and steals their scissors. Obie and Bingie pursue it onto the rooftops, ending up in a bell tower and crashing into a big bell. The clanging wakes the neighbours, who complain and tell them to go home. First, though, they get their scissors back and learn how a bat is able to find its way in the dark.
