Novelist Charles Condomine has invited Madame Arcati to his house to hold a séance as research for his newest novel. Charles, his current wife Ruth, and their guests the Bradmans all think Madame Arcati is an eccentric fake - until she accidentally summons the spirit of Charles' late wife Elvira. Now haunted by his first wife and fighting with his second, what's an upstanding British gentleman to do? This classic comedic farce was written by Noel Coward, and remains one of his more popular works today.
