Lucky Ghost

Washington Delaware Jones is ordered by a judge to leave town for good. He and his friend Jefferson accept the exile and decide to search for a new place to live. They set off on a road toward a fresh start and a different life.

With the judge's order behind them, the two men brainstorm an unconventional new line of work. They settle on food-tasting as a plausible but quirky career given their lack of formal training. They begin planning how to present themselves as tasters on the road.

At their first stop on the road, they pose as food inspectors and raid a chicken farm. The farmer shoots at them, forcing a quick retreat and warning them about the risks of their plan. The failed heist foreshadows the trouble that follows.

Brown, a man of wealth, arrives with his friend Dawson; Brown's car stops by the roadside. The four men roll dice and Washington and Jefferson win everything, including the car. The chauffeur then drives the group to a nearby country club.

They reach Dr. Brutus Blake's country club, where Blake is a swindler determined to take their money. Blake notices the two guests arriving in a flashy car and plots to fleece them. The atmosphere grows tense as the evening unfolds.

Blake arranges a craps game where the outcome is fixed to Blake's advantage. Blackstone, Blake's partner, disapproves of the deceit and threatens to expose Blake's trickery to the guests. The setup hints at a looming showdown over the winnings.

Blake grows jealous after seeing Washington dance with the club hostess. He challenges Washington to a fight, only to knock himself out in the scuffle. When he recovers, he is more determined than ever to win the guests' money.

Unbeknownst to the guests, Blake's dead relatives haunt the club in disapproval of his behavior. They regret leaving the place to him in their wills and dispatch Ezra Dewey to set him straight. The supernatural presence adds a chilling mood to the gambling night.

Ezra learns about Blake's further wicked schemes and confronts him, frightening Blake away from the room. The ghostly intervention signals that Blake's hold on the club may be slipping. The tense moment solidifies Ezra's role in keeping the balance.

The former owners begin scheming to reclaim the club from Washington and Jefferson. They enlist the local sheriff to arrest the two guests on made-up offenses, in a bid to restore the old order. The plan adds another layer of danger to the night.

All the ghosts intensify their hauntings and drive Washington and Jefferson from the club. The supernatural intervention makes escaping the building their only option. The men flee into the night, leaving the eerie club behind.
