Plot

In the chilling mystery of "The Living Ghost," enigmatic millionaire Walter Craig goes missing from his lavish estate, leaving a perplexing void that can only be filled by the astute ex-detective, Nick Trayne. Unraveling the mystery with the aid of his lively assistant, Betty Hilton, Trayne stumbles upon the shell-shocked Craig, who has inexplicably returned home. However, he is not the man he once was. The once dynamic tycoon is now trapped in a zombified state, his mental faculties seemingly half erased. Bewilderment thickens as esteemed doctors Taggart and Bruhning declare the impossible - Craig's brain is partially missing, yet his existence persists indefinitely. Amidst the eerie quiet of the estate, Trayne and Hilton find themselves entangled in a web of shadowy figures and hidden motives. Tony Weldon, a friend residing in a secluded cottage on the estate, devotes himself to caring for Craig, while another family friend, George Phillips, meets a grisly end with Craig ominously found at the scene. As Trayne and Hilton delve deeper into the enigma, they unearth a sinister plot involving a mysterious man named Carson. His cryptic trail leads them to a rented house and a trail of chemicals that tie back to the brain-damaging treatment inflicted on Craig. With the real estate agent only recognizing Carson by voice, Trayne orchestrates a cunning plan, gathering all the estate's inhabitants to record their voices, hoping to unmask the elusive Carson. As the night descends, danger tightens its grip. An attempted attack on Trayne propels the investigation into a thrilling climax. "The Living Ghost" is a riveting tale of intrigue and suspense, where secrets lurk in every corner and trust is as elusive as the enigmatic living ghost himself.
