Plot
The episode opens with a dodo walking through the forest at night. The dodo comes across a jelly apple, but before he can eat it, Goomo picks it up and puts it on a stick. The kids are having a glow rock campfire when Goomo gets spooked by a strange noise. This prompts the kids to tell scary stories. Rita goes first, and tells a not-so-scary story about a tea party with no tea. Unimpressed, Bello takes over and tells his own scary story about a zombie (or rather, "the whole body that wouldn't die"). The other kids think it's fun, and all pretend to be zombies. Just then, Goomo begins telling them about seeing a strange creature with strange shadows and green, slimy footprints. He then flips back to his normal cheerful self and goes to get another box of jelly apples. The kids are a little freaked out, and believe that Goomo saw a real monster. They hear a strange noise and all hide under a log. They begin to worry that Goomo hasn't come back from the tents. They all fight over who is going to go over and investigate, and eventually decide to all go together.

At the tents, the kids find Goomo's abandoned helmet and sticky green footprints, and hear a strange noise. They freak out until they realize that the noise was just a dodo owl, and they have nothing to fear...except for a strange shadow in the woods! They take off running, and eventually come back to the tent, thinking they lost the monster...until they hear strange noises from the tent! Again, they run for their lives, but Bello stops. He wants to go back and rescue Goomo, and rustles the other kids into doing the same. They run back to the tent, and inside, they only find the empty box of jelly apples...and a monster! They run away, but turn back when they realize that the box has tiny little feet. Ongo picks up the box and tips it over, revealing the little dodo from before inside. The kids are relieved...until they see the strange shadow coming their way! They all hide inside the tent. The shadow lumbers closer, and picks up the helmet and puts it on, revealing himself to only be Goomo. The kids are relieved (although Ongo is still weirded out by Goomo's crazy helmet hair), especially after the monster from the story was revealed to be made up. All is well on Jammbo again.

Trivia

 * The jingle the kids sing at the beginning, "We're Sitting Around the Glow Rock," shares its tune with numerous nursery rhymes, namely Alouette, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Down by the Station and Sweetly Sings the Donkey.

Errors

 * When the kids are running in circles screaming, Ongo is mistakenly rendered with his default smile.
 * When the kids are running away from the tent, Ongo is much further ahead than the girls. However, in the next shot, they're much closer together.
