Summary

Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk alongside Marty’s wife Jeannie run a private detective agency.

In episode one Marty is killed during an investigation.  He immediately returns as a ghost to help his partner bring his murderer to justice.  In doing so he remains out of his grave for to long and is cursed to walk the earth for 100 years.

Seeing the advantages of having a ghost at the detective agency, Marty stays as an invisible partner, playing the key role in helping Jeff solve crime thereafter, also meaning that he can see his widow, Jeannie, who works as a secretary at the agency every day.
