PlotSet in the luxurious yet eerie Carpathian Mountains of 1851, a vivacious and witty showgirl traveling with her loyal maid is caught in a series of haunted misadventures after becoming stranded near a forbidding castle. The two women, on their way to Paris for a performance, are taken in by the mysterious and enigmatic Lord of the manor and his peculiar household, offering them shelter and much-needed respite. The atmosphere in the castle is unsettling, with pictures that seem to watch over them, mysterious sounds echoing in the corridors, and secretive servants adding to the ominous intrigue. It soon becomes apparent that their stay might be shrouded in more sinister intentions than mere hospitality.
As the night unfolds, the showgirl is increasingly plagued by strange visions and encounters with spectral figures, leading her to believe that the castle harbors deep and dark secrets linked to its ghostly history. Her uncanny resemblance to the enigmatic Lord's deceased wife adds to the tension, unraveling more puzzles with each discovery. These eerie occurrences compel her to investigate and unearth the truth behind the haunting presence within the castle walls. Determined to escape the malevolent grip of the past intruding upon her present life, she battles to untangle herself and her maid from a web of deception and supernatural phenomena, all while maintaining her signature wit and charm.
