Comment/Synopsis

A man (Warner Baxter) is killed by his former lover (Lynn Bari) and as a ghost tries to help his wife (Andrea Lees) prove who killed him even though someone else is taking the blame. The plot is very thin and there are no surprises. Director Irving Pitchel does a decent job superimposing the ghost version of Warner Baxter onto the scenes. There is a nioce cameo from Charley Grapewin as the only person who can see or hear Warner Baxter. This was Andrea Leeds final film before she retired from acting.
