It’s a good thing Neal Downer doesn’t believe in ghosts ’cause he’d never make it through this spooky night! In order to fulfill the terms of the will of his late eccentric uncle and inherit Downer Estate, he has to spend the night in the dilapidated mansion. The estate is rumored to have a mysterious curse on it and is haunted, but that doesn’t scare away Neal, his fiancee, Babs, or his best friend, Rudy. Nor does it deter to two eager reporters or the pair of stranded, road-weary motorists. Several humorous encounters with an older spirit during the night, however, changes Neal’s mind about ghosts, especially after seeing the spirit’s union membership card. If only he could convince the others that the ghost is real! But that’s not all Neal has to worry about! A raging storm, a midnight seance, a missing person, and the discovery of a smuggling ring all will keep your audience on the edge of their seats.
