Tim Mison, star of the hit Fox series Sleepy Hollow, narrates the classic Washington Irving short story. In the secluded Dutch territory of Sleepy Hollow, nebbish schoolmaster Ichabod Crane competes with the town hero for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the 18-year-old daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves a party at the Van Tassel's farm one autumn evening, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, an apparition said to be the ghost of a Hessian trooper snuffed out by a stray cannonball.

Dreißig Jahre ist es her, dass der kopflose Reiter das verschlafene Dorf Sleepy Hollow in Angst und Schrecken versetzte. Da wird in den Wäldern die Leiche eines Jungen gefunden, dessen Kopf und Hände abgetrennt wurden. Ist der Reiter wieder erwacht? Um die Lebenden vor den Toten zu beschützen, ist diesmal jedoch nicht Ichabod Crane zur Stelle, sondern ein 14-jähriges Kind: Ben Van Brunt weiß, welches Monster durch die Wälder streift. Doch außer seinem Großvater Brom schenkt ihm niemand Glauben.

Der Kopflose Reiter ist ein gefürchtetes Gespenst, das seit dem Unabhängigkeitskrieg die Gegend um die "schläfrige Schlucht" unsicher macht. Die Legende erhält neuen Auftrieb, als Clementine, die Tochter des Großbauern Baltes van Tassel verschwindet und man munkelt, sie sei dem Reiter zum Opfer gefallen. Der verschlagene Dorflehrer Ichabod Crane wittert eine Chance, mit Hilfe des Spuks die Hand von Clemtentines Schwester Katrina zu gewinnen... doch dafür müssen ein paar weitere Köpfe rollen.
