Jake Burroughs Builds Wagon Business After Halloween Prank

Jake Burroughs moves to Keck community and rents Toliver Neck’s shop after buying a wagon for five dollars. Sampson McKinstry and friends stage a Halloween prank by hoisting the wagon onto Jake’s roof. The stunt backfires when Jake turns the event into a real wagon venture with Ramaey Turner backing a new business, uniting locals. Eva Jane smiles as tensions fade and Jake hails a fresh start.
