The beloved characters--mortal and immortal--of Topper return in this uproarious
romp through the south of France. One of Thorne Smith's best-loved comedies, it
proves once again that he is the undisputed master of urbane wit and
sophisticated repartee. Cosmo Topper, the mild-mannered bank manager who was
persuaded to take a walk on the wild side by the ghosts of George and Marion
Kerby in Topper, finds himself reunited with his dyspeptic wife for an extended
vacation on the Riviera. But he doesn't have long to enjoy the peace and quiet
before the irrepressible Kerbys materialize once again and start causing
fracases, confusing the citizenry, alarming the gendarmes, getting naked, and
turning every occasion into revelry or melee. Soon Marion decides that Topper as
a ghost would be even more laughs than Topper in the flesh. And all she needs to
arrange is one simple little murder.
