Das Gespenst von Canterville (1944)
Vor 300 Jahren versteckte sich Simon vor einem Duell in seinem Gemach. Der ob der Feigheit seines Sohnes erzürnte Vater ließ es zumauern. Erlösung soll sein Geist erst finden, wenn ein anderer in seinem Namen eine mutige Tat vollbringt. Leider besteht die ganze Familie aus Angsthasen. Also lehrt Geist Simon die auf der Burg einquartierten Soldaten das Fürchten. Und siehe, unter ihnen ist ein Nachkomme, der zum Helden taugt.
