Beak and Ally are back — and this time, the swamp is keeping them up at night! When mysterious sounds start echoing through the darkness — the GUURNT GUURNT of the horrible Grunty Beast, the CHH CHH CHH CHH of the chilling Chatter Ghosts, and the ZZUMP ZZUMP of the mechanical Zump Monster — Beak the bird is convinced something sinister is lurking nearby. Luckily, his best friend Ally the alligator has a few ideas about what might really be behind all that racket.
