Molly is a sculptor who wants to hear those three magic words. Sam is a banker who has trouble spitting them out. A brutal twist of fate separates them when Sam is killed, apparently in a mugging. But while Sam has left his body behind, he has not departed the earth entirely. His spirit remains in limbo, able to move about the world but saddled with the usual ghostly handicap of invisibility. He is also inaudible to all but the psychic Oda Mae Brown, whom he enlists to protect Molly from the evil plottings of his “best friend” and the thug his friend is conspiring with.
Die Bildhauerin Molly möchte natürlich auch endlich diese drei Worte hören, ihrem Freund, dem Banker Sam gehen sie aber nicht über die Lippen. Ein Raubüberfall zerstört das Glück der Beiden. Es dauert einen Moment, bis Sam realisiert, dass er getroffen und tödlich verwundet wurde. Fortan wandelt er als Geist durch New York City, unfähig in die Geschehnisse einzugreifen. Bestürzt erkennt er, dass sein Tod kein Unfall war. Nun ist Molly in Gefahr. Mithilfe des Mediums Oda Mae versucht Sam Kontakt zu Molly aufzunehmen und sie zu schützen. Er muss seinen Mörder zur Strecke bringen…
