Dermot Walsh and Hazel Court decide to buy a 40 year old yacht. The salesman tries to talk them out of the purchase. He tells them a tale of how the locals believe the ship to be haunted. They get a laugh out of the story and buy the ship anyway. The two restore the boat and have a big party to celebrate. They take the yacht out for a short cruise. When they return to port, the engine room man swears he has seen a ghost and quits. The next engineer also quits after seeing the same ghost. Somewhat at a loss at what to do they call in a medium. They have a séance and the medium explains the reason for the haunting. The previous owner had shot and killed his wife and lover. He had then hid the bodies below the decks next to the outside hull. A somewhat effective thriller that starts out and finishes well. The middle does drag a bit, but for a low budget film it passes the time well enough. Always nice to Hazel Court in any sort of film.
