Marc Pillsworth, a harried copy chief at a bustling advertising agency, finds his orderly world turned upside‑down when a mischievous spirit begins to materialize in his office. The ghost—an exact double of Marc himself—appears in fragments, from a floating shoe to a disembodied voice, each sighting driving him toward a nervous breakdown. As deadlines loom and personal pressures mount, Marc is forced to confront a phantom that seems intent on making his life a comedy of errors.
The spectral double, who calls himself George, is everything Marc is not—reckless, boastful, and delightfully irresponsible with his ectoplasmic tricks. Their uneasy partnership spirals into a series of slap‑slap‑stick confrontations that threaten both Marc’s sanity and his professional reputation. Listeners are drawn into this witty, supernatural tug‑of‑war as Marc searches for a way to banish the impish haunt before it wrecks his career.
