Cary Grant and Constance Bennett are bored millionaires who spend their time drinking and dancing. One day they are killed in a road accident due to his careless driving. They become transparent "ghosts", not sure if they are headed to heaven or that other place. They decide they have to do a good deed to insure it is heaven. They set their sights on henpecked bank president Roland Young. Through their invisible antics they teach him that drinking and leaving his wife is the true road to happiness. He buys their old car and promptly crashes it on the same curve that killed them, but survives to figure out that he was happy after all. Dreadful Hollywood "classic" that is dead-on-arrival.
