Visitors have come for a usual Halloween tour focusing on the story of Kremser, often referred to as the little red man of Old Salem. The highlight of the tour will be drawing lots from the lot bowl to determine if the story is fact or fiction. But there is one problem. Within the tour, Kremser has buried his own activities. He has a bone to pick with the non-believing tour guide and with the lot system and now he is on a mission to make his mischief as famous as the museum. To get back at them, he has hidden the lot bowl and now it is up to the tour group to solve his riddles, find the lot and return it to the Workshop before the next tour begins and one of the town’s most meaningful artifacts is lost forever.
