George Carlin stars as a murdered private investigator named Justin Case who comes back as a ghost.

From an idea by Edwards' daughter, actress Jennifer Edwards, the film was intended as a pilot for a proposed TV series, however, plans for a series were later abandoned.

The film was produced by the Blake Edwards Company in association with Walt Disney Television, and aired on ABC as a presentation of The Disney Sunday Movie on May 15, 1988.

Justin is found dead in his office by Jennifer Spalding, an out-of-work dancer who's there to interview for a secretary/receptionist position.

Justin returns a ghost that only Jennifer can see, and convinces her to help unravel the mystery of his murder.
