A burned out writer retreats to a northwest town called Hellview to write the great American novel. Unfortunately for him, the lighthouse he is renting is inhabited by the spirit of a woman who killed herself there one hundred years before and now wants him to replace her lost love, Captain Howdy. When Captain Howdy is resurrected, two daring adventure seekers are brought in to solve the case and find out the secret of the lighthouse.—Todd A. Bobenrieth <[email protected]>

Among the many classic lines in this movie and one that is repeatedly mentioned herein is, "What difference does it make?" This particular line ( a question) has been found in almost 70% of all black and white films of the 1930's. Now in the 21st century it has been made famous in politics.—Bookbinder11
