The premise

The lord and lady of a capacious manor are killed, and the lord's ghost seems to have returned to knock off the staff one by one, causing Inspector Winship and Dr. Tart to investigate the wacky house and its inhabitants.

Horror Vault's take

When the lord and lady of an eccentric English manor meet mysterious ends, bumbling Inspector Winship and his partner Dr. Tart are dispatched to unravel the chaos — only to find the sprawling estate full of suspicious staff and strange happenings. Don Knotts and Tim Conway reunite their legendary comedic chemistry for a ghost-infused whodunit that leans hard into slapstick and spoof. The manor's secrets pile up as the body count rises and the investigators prove far better at stumbling into danger than solving it.
