The play tells of the struggles of three young col- lege students to raise money by running a haunted hotel.

They acquire sev- eral guests, including the girl Herb loves, and her aunt, who refuses to let her niece marry a poor col- lege student. After many hilarious incidents and skirmishes with the ghost, they capture him and learn of a hidden treasure. The boys find it, and everything ends happily.
