The best wedding ever, the best wedding yet, the wedding
that no one will ever forget!
Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay
Were scarecrows (They scared
Lots of crows every day.)
Harry loved Betty, and Betty loved Harry,
So Harry said, 'Betty, my beauty let's marry!'
Two scarecrows are planning the perfect wedding and set off to
find everything on their list.
But wicked cigar-smoking scarecrow, Reginald Rake, has other ideas
and almost ruins their special day. Harry O'Hay must become
a hero before he and Betty O'Barley can have the wedding of their
dreams.
