A girl accused of murder is exonerated of the charge, but her electrocution is erroneously reported in the newspapers. Aided by her lawyer, she pretends to be a ghost in order to ferret out the real murderer.

Lawyer John Malone (Donlevy) is an ardent admirer of the sultry night-club singer Anna Marie St. Clair (Lamour) After meeting her at the club, he is present when her boss is killed, and she is arrested for the crime.
