A lighthearted 1960s fantasy-comedy that plays gender transformation and revenge for laughs while centering on friendship and romantic entanglement.

When a cavorting Hollywood writer is killed by the angry husband of a woman he was having an affair with, he comes back as a spirit in the form of a beautiful woman and moves in with his/her best friend as a base operation for enacting sweet revenge.
