The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Looking to score a break as a newspaper reporter and impress beautiful Alma Parker, milquetoast typesetter Luther Heggs pitches a story about his small town's haunted house. When the trial judge orders an investigation, and no apparition appears, Luther is branded a fraud. That is, until he and his devoted girlfriend team up to uncover the mystery of the hauntings, and the true murderer, in this timeless comedy classic.
