Plot

A female shopper (portrayed by Mary Kraft) is at a grocery store in the produce section, looking at the vegetables. She picks up a pepper before putting it back selecting another one; picking up the second pepper reveals an eye. Vegetable Man (Don Kennedy) comes out of his hiding place with several growls and attempts to attack the woman, who is frightened and yells in fear. Vegetable Man continues to chase the lady, rather slowly, through the rest of the produce section. The scene cuts, and as she runs past, Vegetable Man is right behind her, making a very odd smile at the audience. Then, the words "Vegetable Man" Appear on the screen in spooky green lettering, against a black background, followed by the words "Eat your veggies this Christmas." At this point the screen goes black; this is followed just a second after by a surprise pop-up of Vegetable Man, probably meant to startle the viewer after tricking them into thinking the short is over.
