Plot

While taking a new shortcut home, Theodore passes a kind of boat he's never seen before. It looks like a haunted house. The others, laughing, tell him he must have seen Haliburton Houseboat and no one is afraid of Haliburton. But Theodore isn't convinced. To allay the small tug's fear, Foduck helps Theodore meet the houseboat. And Theodore finds out that Haliburton is not so scary after all. In fact, Haliburton is afraid of something Theodore takes for granted: Bobby Barge. Haliburton explains that the barge looks like a headless ship. Theodore follows Foduck's example and introduces the houseboat to the barge. By the end of the day, no one is afraid anymore.
