Despite initially thinking the seance has been a failure, it soon becomes clear that Madam Aracati has unwittingly brought back Charles's first wife, Elvira to haunt him. Once in his house , Elvira is unable to leave and, as she cannot be seen on heard by Ruth, she causes all kinds of mischievous trouble between the married couple. Elvira unwittingly causes Ruth's death of his now-deceased wives.
