After collecting his usual meager paycheck, Mantan, a part time janitor at the local courthouse, commiserates with his ne'er-do-well friend Alex, who is similarly poorly paid. Since Mayor Henry Corbit has been arrested for drunken driving and sentenced by the famous "poetical" judge, Alex comes upon the idea of having Mantan run for mayor, with Alex serving as his campaign manager.

In order to make some cash, buddies Mantan and Alex found the "Ghost Association," which will hold mock seances for the local residents. After studying the details of the locals' various deceased relatives, Alex insist that the reluctant Manta, who is afraid of ghost, play "Prince Alabastar Amsterdam" and fool people into thinking that he is in communication with their dead loved ones.

Mantan takes a job as office boy at a new TV station and gets to watch several pre-recorded musical numbers.

He met a young lady named Mary Walker. They fell in love or so he thought. He caught her cheating on him, and considered killing himself. Unbeknownst to him, she was brutally murdered the very same night. Everyone in town automatically accused him of killing her because of his past.
