Synopsis
Alex MacBuff, unable to maintain his cherished Castle Carra, sells it to American millionaire Hiram C. Hopgood, who insists on a ghost-free property. However, the castle's resident spirits—including Krok the Viking warrior, mad Miss Spinks, and a toothless vampire—relocate to Texas along with the castle. As the ghosts continue their haunting, Alex must find a way to appease Hiram and protect his daughter, Helen, from a sinister ransom scheme.
