A playful, gimmick-driven haunted-house romp that treats its supernatural premise as fun spectacle rather than genuine dread.

The reclusive Dr. Zorba has died and left his sprawling mansion to his nephew Cyrus and his family. They will need to search the house to find the doctor's fortune, but along with the property itself, they have also inherited the occultist's collection of thirteen ghosts.
