Casper first tries to be friends with a mama robin and her chicks, but they fly off terrified. Soon, though, he meets someone just as feared as he is…a black cat. Casper decides to name the cat Lucky and the two head off to find a good luck charm for the feline.

First they look for a four-leaf clover, but the leads to trouble with a gopher. Next they try a lucky horseshoe which causes problems when it clunks an angry bulldog on the head. Last they follow rabbit tracks so they can rub a rabbit’s foot. Lucky, however, follows the wrong tracks and has a run-in with a bear.
