High Spirits (1988)
Burgherr Peter Plunkett steht vor der schwierigen Aufgabe, das finanziell zunehmend desolate Schloss seiner Ahnen vor dem Ausverkauf zu bewahren. Um sein Vorhaben zu verwirklichen und die Gunst des neuen Schlossherrn zu gewinnen, schmiedet er einen exzentrischen Plan. Gemeinsam mit einer Schar skurriler Angestellter will er das irische Gemäuer zum gruseligen Geisterschloss und damit zur Touristenattraktion umfunktionieren. Der erste Schwung amerikanischer Gäste zeigt sich jedoch von den ungelenken Spukversuchen schnell gelangweilt. Dann aber sehen sich mit Mary und Martin zwei echte Geister in ihrer Ehre gekränkt. Dem übernatürlichen Trubel lassen sie bald schon höchst romantisches Chaos folgen.
