Herbie McGill runs the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, Canada. The competition from movies, TV, and the newly built O'Keefe Centre has left the Alex with only fifteen weeks of shows in 1959.

When Herbie hears that the stage doorman has seen a ghost at the theatre, he tries to keep it quiet. He doesn't need another reason for people not to come to the theatre. But is it just a crazy ghost story, or did Jack actually see a ghost at the theatre? Herbie is about to find out.
