A whimsical 1920s stop-motion mystery-comedy that blends live action and animation to playfully investigate a phantom's mischievous antics with more charm than genuine scares.

When a mysterious figure appears to cause a series of disruptions at the Frisbie Home in New York, word goes out to Scotland Yard that the Fuzz-Faced Phantom is at work. Soon, Charley MacNeesha and his assistant MacGregor are sent across the ocean to investigate.
