Leaves the goodies outside (4)
I believe the answer is:
goes
'leaves' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the goodies outside' is the wordplay.
'outside' means to remove the middle letters.
'goodies' with its centre removed is 'GOES'.
(Other definitions for goes that I've seen before include "Works" , "Moves" , "See 4" , "Travels; attempts" , "SECOND PART OF 21" .)
