When an American family move to Canterville Chase, they are promptly set upon by the house poltergeist, 'Sir Simon'. This nightly visitor is a medieval ancestor of the Canterville's, who has successfully spooked their home for centuries and is determined to chase the transatlantic upstarts from the premises. Unfortunately for Sir Simon, the Otis family aren't frightened in the least - and the unhappy ghost soon finds himself besieged with peashooters, trip-wires, butter-slides, and falling buckets of water.
