Samantha and Darrin are getting ready to leave London
when their packing is interrupted by the arrival of Larry and
Louise Tate. Larry has arranged for all of them to spend the
weekend as guests of the Duke of Whitset at his castle. Sam and
Darrin do not welcome the news,as they were looking forward
to going home, but they seem to be stuck. When the four of them
arrive at the castle, they find that the Duke accepts paying guests
- in other words, it's a hotel! The castle is, however, authentically English, complete with its own ghost. The Duke believes
that one of his ancestors - Harry, Eighth Duke of Whitset - is the
ghost. That night the ghost makes an appearance. Samantha
meets him in the hallway and discovers that the Duke is right -
Harry is the ghost. Harry takes a liking to Sam (especially since
she's a witch) and when she rebuffs him he takes over Darrin's
body. Harry is impossible to deal with and Samantha can't get
him to leave Darrin's body. When Harry sees he can't get to first
base with Sam, he makes a pass at Louise. Samantha finally
solves the problem by summoning a lady ghost to keep Harry
company. When the Duchess of Windemere appears, Harry
immediately leaves Darrin's body and walks off arm in arm
with his lovely lady ghost. Darrin, of course, ends up paying for
the "odd" behavior he had nothing to do with. Sam explains that
Darrin has been working too hard on his "vacation" and Larry
finally agrees to let them head for home.
