Description: A bomb hit on an English castle releases a 16th century ghost who, with the help of a young lawyer, straightens out a dispute between a landowner and the villagers. A satirical comedy on the English nobility.

When the castle of the earls of Chaunduyt (pronounced "Condit") is damaged by German bombing during the Second World War, an ancient ghost is awakened. Lawyer Peter Hayward joins a tour of the somewhat decrepit castle and admires portraits of a young woman, who turns out to be Lady Mary, the present lord's daughter. They spend much time together; after a week, Peter asks Mary if she was only trying to help sell the manuscripts, then tells him she has to go away the next day when he makes it clear he is attracted to her.
