Transcript: This is a story about a man named Ichabod Crane, a smart and friendly teacher who moves to Tarry Town, a country town near the haunted valley of Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod opens a schoolhouse for the local children, who love and adore him, and he also teaches singing to some pupils.

As he begins to get to know the townspeople, Ichabod meets Katrina Van Tassel, a beautiful girl who is the daughter of a rich farmer. Ichabod wants to win her heart and so he hopes to get to know her better as her singing teacher. However, another man named Brom Van Brunt also pursues her and becomes Ichabod’s rival.

As his rival continues to persecute him, Ichabod sticks to his plan of slowly trying to win Katrina’s heart. And when Ichabod is invited to a party at Katrina’s house, he dresses up and tries to make the most of the opportunity by being social and impressing Katrina with his dancing. The townspeople close the night by sharing scary stories, including the story of the Headless Horseman, the legendary spectre with a pumpkin head that haunts Sleepy Hollow and Tarry Town.

Feeling good about himself, Ichabod leaves the party on horseback and heads home. As he nears a bridge, he sees a dark figure. He tries to talk to the mysterious figure, but it says nothing. Then, scared and panicking, Ichabod steers his horse to gallop faster and faster. However, the figure chases him and then Ichabod realizes that the figure is the Headless Horseman. The Horseman chases him and just as Ichabod thinks he escaped, the Horseman throws his pumpkin head at Ichabod and it attaches itself to his head.

In the end, the townspeople are left wondering what happened to Ichabod and his story is added to the lore of Sleepy Hollow.
