A witty, supernatural screwball comedy built on the chaos of a love triangle between a living wife, a ghostly ex-wife, and a bewildered novelist caught between them.
While holding a séance for skeptical novelist Charles Condomine, self-proclaimed 'spiritualist medium' Madame Arcati inadvertently summons the spirit of his deceased first wife Elvira, leading to an increasingly complex love triangle with Ruth, his current wife of five years.
