Set in the 1600s, cowardly Sir Simon of Canterville flees a duel and seeks refuge in his family's castle. His ashamed father seals him in a locked room, cursing him to wander as a ghost until a descendant redeems the family honor with a brave deed. Centuries later, in 1943, Simon meets Cuffy Williams, an American kinsman stationed at the castle with a troop of soldiers.
