This effective, satirical comedy by popular German director Kurt Hoffmann combines music and cabaret-style entertainment with enough witty humor to keep audiences interested in the slight story. The tale is focused on an old castle where an impoverished, attractive Countess Charlotte (Liselotte Pulver) is trying to reach some sort of resolution to her financial problems. Suddenly the castle's dormant ghostly residents come to life, so to speak, in order to advise the countess on how best to raise funds. They not only help her in that regard but also take an interest in improving her love life.
