Halloween Gig

Treece Henderson and his trio entertain a hotel audience awaiting the results of an adult Halloween costume contest. After Janks Stuppocks gets a shock from his electric piccolo, Treece begins questioning him about a private medical concern. Keyboardist Brad Dates urges discretion, but Treece keeps interrupting their musical interludes, and audience members join in with their own guesses. A call from Janks’s doctor turns the speculation into a conversation the whole room can overhear. When Janks learns that both roommates may need to dispose of their clothes, Treece’s concern suddenly shifts to saving his treasured designer shoes. The band returns to its seasonal routine with the disagreement still hanging over the performance.
