Charged with the murders of Anne Bowden and her daughter, Jenny, Harry is forced to fight a war on two fronts. Despite overwhelming evidence, his denial of all charges is strenuous and consistent. But everyone knows he's a habitual liar. Only his loyal wife believes in his innocence. As Harry prepares for his trial, the haunting becomes more intense, and the outrageous acts perpetrated on him grow progressively nasty until he's forced to confide in someone. His efforts to garner help in dispatching the ghost are constantly frustrated since everyone believes he's attempting to cop a plea for insanity. But he knows that to confess the identity of the ghost would only confirm his guilt. And Harry's misery is multiplied ten-fold by the reactive hilarity he causes to those who would otherwise have very little to smile about.
