Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk are private detectives who specialize in divorce cases. Their long-running partnership seems to come to an abrupt end when Marty is killed by a hit-and-run, but Marty is soon back--as a ghost--to help solve his own murder. While he's doing it, he misses his chance to go to heaven, thanks to an ancient curse that states: "Before the sun shall rise, each ghost unto his grave must go. Cursed be the ghost who dares to stay and face the awful light of day." So Marty is stuck on Earth, as a white-suited spirit whom only Jeff can see, continuing their partnership and keeping (jealous) tabs on his wife/widow, Jean. 　　译文(2): 杰夫 · 兰德尔和马蒂 · 霍普柯克是专门处理离婚案件的私家侦【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。他们长期以来的合作似乎因为马蒂被肇事逃逸杀害而戛然而止但马蒂很快就以幽灵的身份回来帮助解决他自己的谋杀案。当他这么做的时候，他错过了上天堂的机会，因为一个古老的诅咒说: “在太阳升起之前，每个鬼魂都必须去他的坟墓。敢于留下来面对白天可怕光明的鬼魂将受到诅咒”因此，马蒂被困在地球上，作为一个只有杰夫能看到的白衣幽灵，继续他们的合作关系，并保持(嫉妒)关注他的妻子/寡妇，简。
