Young policeman Ichabod Crane is sent from New York to the fledgling
settlement of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of ghoulish murders. On
his arrival, the town council informs him that the three victims were
killed in open ground, and the heads had disappeared - taken by a headless
ghost that is supposedly responsible. Ichabod is unconvinced of this, but
his skepticism soon evaporates when he sees the ghost kill one of the town
council members.
