Scotsman Murdoch Glourie prefers to spend time with women, many women and refuses to go off to war despite his dying father's wishes. But when the Gloure's rival family, the McClaggans, insults the them, Murdoch has to defend the family name. But while running away from the five McClaggan brothers to find a sword to defend himself, a hiding spot explodes and kills him. But his ghost haunts and walks the Glourie castle for centuries until he can find a McClaggan to kill, at least until an indirect descendant (also played by Donat) sells the well known castle to an American business man who ends up de-bricking it and rebuilding in Florida. Both the ghost of Murdoch and Donald become smitten with the business man's daughter. Robert Donat is in full Donat form despite the awful Scottish accent but oh so smooth and charming especially when he pulls the riddle "what is the difference between a thistle in the heather and a kiss in the dark?"
