Three older men (Harrey Carey, C. Aubrey Smith and Michael O'Brien) are bored at Christmas time with just themselves for entertainment. Their dinner guests fell through. They each toss a wallet out the window with ten dollars, in hopes someone honest will bring the wallet back, and then stay for dinner. They actually have success twice, and as a result put together a couple, James and Jean (Richard Carlson and Jean Parker), who become more attached over the year. James and Jean love each other and were on the point of announcing their engagement when they get word the three old men had died in a plane crash. Phil has some talent with singing, and gets a part on the radio. However another woman enters in, Arlene (Helen Vinson) and she is a manipulative person. She sings with James, and convinces him they should run off together. The ghosts of the three men are distressed, knowing things will not turn out well.
They don't. Arlene's husband tracks them down and shoots them both. James is given the opportunity to come back and he takes his second chance.
This movie is in black and white. Their idea of the after life is a bit different than mine but the story seems to work.
