Maggie wants to give Big Daddy the news that she’s finally become pregnant by his favorite son, Brick, but Brick won’t cooperate in her plans.

It’s 1941 in the country home of Charles and Ruth Condomine in Kent, England.

Charles is hoping to use Madame Arcati for inspiration for his latest book. Madame Arcati conducts a seance which at first appears to have failed, but soon it becomes clear that Charles’ late wife Elvira has been brought back to haunt him. Through a series of mishaps, Ruth accidentally ends up on the “other side,” and Charles finds himself haunted by both of his now-deceased wives.
