Synopsis

A country residence in New England and the sum of $600 are left to Harlan Carr by the terms of his uncle's will, which further provides that a future legacy will come to him if he properly entertains a number of guests, all married relations of the uncle. Carr and his wife take up residence in the old homestead, where all manner of ghostly events take place. In due course the guests arrive and make life thoroughly miserable for the couple, who tolerate their unpleasantness for fear of losing the legacy. At last Harlan loses all patience and orders them from the house. Then, unexpectedly, the family lawyer informs the Carrs that having done exactly as their uncle wished, they will be rewarded with the remainder of the old man's money.
