Synopsis
In the 18th Century the Glourie clan are called cowards by their rivals, the MacClaggan clan, for not going off to war with the English. And so the womanizing Murdoch Glourie is reluctantly bundled off, only to be blown up on the battlefield while stealing a kiss from a girl behind a barrel of gunpowder. However Murdoch's father refuses him admittance to Heaven for his cowardice and curses him to walk the halls of Glourie Castle after midnight until he can trap a MacClaggan and make him admit that one Glourie is better than fifty MacClaggans. Two hundred years later and the latest Glourie descendant Donald is being forced to sell the castle to pay off his debts. He tries to hide the existence of Murdoch's ghost from prospective buyers. But then Peggy Martin, the daughter of an American millionaire, meets the ghost of Murdoch in the halls of the castle and becomes entranced. She persuades her father to buy the castle and ship it to America where Murdoch causes a sensation.
