After making a daring escape from prison, he finds himself in a desolate barn, a makeshift sanctuary where he hopes to lay low for a while. His intentions are simply to avoid detection and start anew, leaving his checkered past behind. However, Witt's plans are soon disrupted when two mischievous children stumble upon him while exploring the woods around the barn. Initially startled by the young duo's presence, Witt quickly comes up with a ruse to protect his identity. He tells the children that he is a ghost, a harmless spirit who haunts the barn.
