Blithe Spirit is a comic play that concerns socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to his house to conduct a séance. Charles is hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires however when he is haunted by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira, following the séance.

Elvira makes continual and disastrous attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost. Ex-wives can be hell!
