The ghost plan to dig a tunnle under Pac-Man's home and steal the Power Pellets. They get overly excited and Pac-Man hears them, and runs away from them. As they run away they have to enter various maze locations. The mazes are represented by illustrated mazes that fill a single page, the reader is advised to use their finger to find the path through the maze. As Pac-Man, and Baby Pac-Man get home they meet Ms. Pac-Man and begin watching television. While the Ghost dig under the house. The ghost however dig too far and hit a body of water instead and the tunnel gets flooded. The Pac family then listens happily as they hear the water push the ghost out of the tunnel.
