A certain Candyman was on his quest of jobhunting, and ended up lost in the Frozen North while trying to reach Santa's Workshop. Before the cold could do him in, he manages to find shelter in this unlikely place; it was the Fort of the Snowman. Despite having less than pleasant memories, he takes the risk in asking for directions, not knowing what fate would have in store for him.
Ickybod Clay is nearly on the verge of losing his head after the incident with Hoppy. He remembers that he's only working for the Doctor to spare his life, as well as to be able to return to Muddville. He would've gladly decided to change sides if not for a certain henchman. When an old friend wanders to his Graveyard, Icky finds that the Candyman is bitter about the Clown, too.
