The creature, the earthbound revenant of a dead criminal, forces the humble tailor into finding a priest to give him absolution so that he will haunt the night no more. Snowball has no choice but to agree...however, he soon finds the monster has tricked him. He must not only lay that one ghost to rest, but two of its friends from the spirit world...
