[edit] Plot outline

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The daughter of an American businessman persuades him to purchase a castle in Scotland, dis-assemble it to move it to Florida in pieces. Along with the castle goes the castle’s ghost.

The ghost of Murdoch Glourie haunts the castle after dying a coward’s death in the 18th century. To rest he must find a member of the enemy Clan MacClaggan and have him admit that one Glourie is worth fifty MacClaggans. The plot resembles Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost (1887).

This film was Rene Clair’s first English-language film. After a further film in England, Clair moved to Hollywood. This film contrasts an old world ghost with American vulgarity.
