Reinvigorated, Jack returns to Halloween Town and recruits the citizens into his new plan: to organize Christmas themselves. But even with aid from his loyal dog Zero and the resourceful rag doll Sally, challenges lurk around every corner. Sally sees a terrible vision of Jack falling into danger, and the mysterious Oogie Boogie hides in the shadows.
