Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) Cast

Jeannie is hired by Stuart Boyle, an old school friend of Jeff’s, to investigate a mysterious letter he has received from his father: it says to meet him at the disused Boyle’s department store – despite the fact that Mr Boyle died six years ago. But when Jeannie arrives at the huge, abandoned store she finds that it has somehow been restored to its former glory - only this time, instead of innocent household wares, it is now full of deadly traps and killer mannequins. After being drugged by an unseen assailant, Jeannie comes to and finds herself and Stuart tied to chairs, at the mercy of an acid-spraying shop-dummy. Meanwhile, Jeff and Marty realise that Jeannie is missing, and set out to find her; as tensions rise and tempers flare, the two friends bicker constantly, but they eventually manage to track Jeannie down to Boyle’s, where Jeff seems less than pleased to be reunited with his old schoolmate, particularly as Stuart and Jeannie seem to share an attraction for each other. As everyone attempts to find a way out of the store, Jeff and Marty's relationship reaches such a low-point that their spiritual bond breaks; Jeff becomes cut off from his ghostly friend, while Marty finds himself trapped in the afterlife, as a guest at the despair-filled seaside town of Rhadamanthus-On-Sea…
