Topper is once again tormented by a fun-loving spirit. This time, it's Gail Richards, accidentally murdered while vacationing at the home of her wealthy friend, Ann Carrington, the intended victim. With Topper's help, Gail sets out to find her killer with the expected zany results.

Joan Blondell's ghost: flirty, furious, and technically transparent.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joan Blondell replaced Constance Bennett from the first Topper film, creating a ghostly recasting tradition.
This was the final film in the Topper trilogy—Hollywood's brief obsession with horny haunted house comedy died here, and we are poorer for it.
