Viidakossa vietetään vuoden pelottavinta juhlaa, halloweenia. Myös Simo Panssi ja kumppanit uskaltautuvat kierrokselle herkkujen perässä. Mutta iltahämärässä kaikki tuntuu aivan erilaiselta kuin päivänvalossa. Puut näyttävät aavemaisilta, yöeläimet päästävät omituisia ääniä (ja hajuja), ja pimeys muuttuu koko ajan pimeämmäksi...Simoa ei tietenkään pelota, ei sitten yhtään! Niin hän ainakin väittää ystävilleen, kunnes jännitys kasvaa liian suureksi.Kiukkuinen apina ei pelkää näyttää Simo Panssin esimerkin avulla, että kaikkia joskus pelottaa, etenkin uusien asioiden äärellä. Onneksi jännittävänkin hetken voi jakaa ystävän kanssa.Amerikkalaisten Suzanne ja Max Langin luoma kiukutteleva pikku simpanssi on naurattanut lapsia (ja vanhempia) ympäri maailman - ja samalla kannustanut lukijoita puhumaan tunteista rohkeasti.
