Writer Charles Condomine invites local eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to hold a séance at his house and asks along his friends, Dr and Mrs Bradman. His intention is to gather character inspiration from Madame Arcati for his latest book.
Despite initially thinking the séance has been a failure, it soon becomes clear that Madame Arcati has unwittingly brought back Charles’ first wife, Elvira. Once in the house, Elvira is unable to leave, and, as she cannot be seen or heard by Condamine’s second wife, Ruth, she begins to create all kinds of mischief and trouble between the married couple.
When Elvira unwittingly causes Ruth’s death in her attempts to bring Charles over to be with her, Charles becomes haunted by both of his now-deceased wives.
Frustrated by their odd situation, the threesome call on Madame Arcati once more to send Elvira and Ruth back to the other side.
