Gumshoes Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk don't let a little thing like death get in the way of an investigation. While working on a routine divorce case, Marty is ruthlessly run down and killed. Imagine Jeff's surprise when Marty's ghost shows up to help him nab the murderer. That no one else can see Jeff's persistent partner has its pros and cons, particularly when it comes to Jeff's relationship with Marty's widow, Jean. DISC ONE: Episode 1: "My Late Lamented Friend and Partner": In the pilot episode Marty Hopkirk is murdered by the husband of a client but returns as a ghost to help Jeff bring the man responsible for his murder to justice. Episode 2: ?A Disturbing case?: Concerned for Jeff's mental health Jeannie sends Jeff to Dr. Conrad at the Lambert Clinic where it turns out he is the mastermind of a series of robberies of his patients using hypnotic suggestion, forcing Marty to try and find a way to break Jeff from his control before Jeff has been so severely hypnotized that he loses the ability to see Marty. David Bauer stars. Episode 3: "All Work and No Pay": Two eccentric conmen brothers (The Foster Brothers) who claim to be spiritualists try to convince Jeannie that Marty is haunting her as a poltergeist using electronic equipment. Episode 4: "Never Trust a Ghost": Two enemy agents murder a high British Secret Service official and his wife and pass themselves as their impostors in their own home to steal important documents.
