American millionaire Hiram C. Hopgood will stop at nothing to make his daughter, Helen, happy--even if it means buying her an ancient Scottish castle and shipping it back to Texas. Assembling the castle isn't a problem for the oil tycoon . . . it's the ghosts that worry him. Hopgood has made up his mind: the ghouls have got to go. But these spirits don't spook so easily. Instead, they make their way to America, where they meet up with a magical severed hand and three fiendish, cross-dressing kidnappers for a Texassized adventure with a ghostly Scottish flair.
