Peter Plunkett has inherited a mansion from his ancestors — the Castle Plunkett. He is indebted to an Irish-American businessman named Brogan and plots a plan to make quick money. For starters, he converts his ancestral property into a bed and breakfast, so he can host guests and earn cash off the historical and cultural importance of the castle. When he is unable to find quick customers, he resorts to attractive campaigning. He advertises his bed and breakfast as the “most haunted castle in Europe” but fails to amuse the American tourists with his cheap tricks of supernatural themes. However, things change when the tourists realize there is more to the castle’s paranormal activities than Peter’s failed attempt at spooking them.
