Banker Patrick Swayze is murdered one night on the streets of NYC while on a date with his girlfriend Demi Moore. However, he becomes a "ghost" which can move through walls and people. Although no one can see him, he finds out that one person can hear his incessant talking: fake psychic Whoopi Goldberg. He annoys her so much that she agrees to help him save his girlfriend from the thugs responsible for his murder. Ludicrous "romantic fantasy" is actually unintentionally hilarious, including a final scene where Swayze "borrows" the body of Whoopi to make out with Demi one last time.
