Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) Cast

When guests at a quiet country hotel are later found dead in their rooms, their bodies burnt to a cinder but their surroundings left untouched, hotelier Virginia Carpenter hires Jeff and Jeannie to investigate. News of the supernatural phenomena has also attracted the interests of a ghost hunter, two dotty old mediums and a jaded newspaper reporter, all of whom wish to uncover the secret of the recent deaths. In the afterlife, Marty decides to return to Earth to keep an eye on his best friend and ex-fiancé; he materialises before a startled Jeff and restores his memory, and the two partners enjoy a happy reunion. Meanwhile, Jeannie is possessed by the spirit of Sonia, who, along with her lover, Billy, died in the hotel over fifty years ago. While Sonia has the power to create extreme cold, Billy has that of flame; together they are looking for suitable physical bodies so that they can live again – and it looks like Jeff is the perfect host for Billy…
