Things get under way when Blondie Bumstead demands that her husband request a raise from his boss Mr. Dithers, so that she can afford to hire a maid. But Dithers has no time for any salary disputes: his construction firm is currently stuck with an unsaleable old mansion that is rumored to be haunted. To disprove this theory, Dithers asks the Bumstead family to spend a night in the crumbling old house, throwing a retinue of servants into the bargain.
Dagwood Bumstead's wealthy and meddling Uncle Lou arrives, creating chaos for the Bumstead household. Uncle Lou, despite his efforts to 'help', only succeeds in causing misunderstandings and comical predicaments. Blondie, ever the resourceful wife, tries to navigate the disruption and keep her family, including the perpetually hungry Dagwood, out of further trouble.
