Madcap couple George and Marion Kerby are killed in an automobile accident. They return as ghosts to try and liven up the regimented lifestyle of their friend and bank president, Cosmo Topper. When Topper starts to live it up, it strains relations with his stuffy wife.
The old sitcom is about 3 ghosts who haunt a house. The ghosts of the couple who lived there, and a St. Bernard who died with them. So, technically, he doesn't die since he's already a ghost.
