The ingenious plot tells how novelist Charles Condomine invites into bis placid country home an eccentric, breezy lady me- dium in order to learn the language of the occult. Little does Cbarles or bis ioveiy second wife, Ruth, dream that tbe seance sta- ged by the medium wili summon back Charles' first wife, now "passed over" for seven years.

A fioating vase, banded to bier ont of thin ait, finally convinces Rutb that Charles is tiot losing bis mmnd -- that bis first wife is indeed ini the room. The first wife bas a gbost- iy plot in mind: if slîe can get Charles into an automobile accident and make a ghost of bim, life in tîhe spirit world wil bave more appeal for ber. Mistakes occur, bowever, and it is Ruthi wbo takes the fatal automobile ride and passes on -- only to return witb tbe first wife to plague the utterly be- wildered astral bigamist! How Charles manages to extricate bimseif from these two very blithe spi- rits makes an hilarious con- clusion to this very un- usual farce.
