Plot

Old Mr. Pandolfo makes a scarecrow, puts a letter in his jacket pocket and puts it in the cornfield. One night, lightning strikes the scarecrow and it comes to life. Not far from there, a boy called Jack was wandering around, looking for food. He sees the scarecrow and helps him out of his trap. The elegant straw doll offers Jack a job as his personal servant. The boy accepts and they set off on an adventure. The scarecrow tells Jack that he has an estate called Spring Valley. The two decide to go to the estate, but they will have to face the Buffaloni, Pandolfo's cousins. Will they succeed?
