The tangled tale revolves around a local clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, and a book author, Charles Condomine, eager to witness a seance. Not only does the play feature Candomine’s wife, but also his deceased first wife, the flirtatious Elvira.

You see, Condomine is writing a book featuring a homicidal spiritualist and wants to include a seance in his writing. To learn more about seances, Condomine invites his wife, Ruth, and their friends, Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, to share dinner at their home and the aforementioned seance.

While the medium is in a trance, Condomine hears the voice of his late wife, Elvira. But no one else can hear her. The flirtatious Elvira is manipulating Condomine do what she wishes, and causing trouble with his present wife, Ruth.

Condomine wants Madame Arcati to send Elvira back to where she came from, but it turns out Madame Arcati has no clue just how to do that. There’s never a dull moment at a Noel Coward comedy.
