Honeymooners' rental house in the country turns out to be the hideout of a gangster who was recently hanged at a nearby prison. His coffin shows up with the very much alive prisoner, as do his gangster friends looking for him. The "ghost" in this case is the prisoner, who roams the house's hidden passageways scaring the naive couple. Dated comedy with offensive racial humor, written by Morey Amsterdam of Dick Van Dyke show fame.
