In 18th century Scotland, womanizing Murdoch Glourie (Robert Donat) is ordered by his family patriarch father to go fight the McLaggan clan. They have to delay the battle against the English to take care of this matter of honor. A cannonball ends Murdoch's life and he becomes the ghost in his family castle. In modern day, American Peggy Martin (Jean Parker) convinces her father (Eugene Pallette) to buy the Scottish castle and ship it back to Florida stone by stone.
This is a quirky fun premise. Robert Donat is great at this type of character. It would be more fun if the comedy is a bit broader. I actually didn't expect the movie going to some places. This is a weird movie. I can imagine it being remade with a few changes. I would definitely make Peggy a bigger character with an it girl actress.
