Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Ghost Goes West (1935) is a British Romantic Comedy / Sci-Fi B-movie starring Robert Donat, Jean Parker, Eugene Pallette, and directed by René Clair.Casanova Murdoch Glourie is a rich, young Scottish lad during the 18th century who rather make out with the ladies than go to war and defend his honour against the hated McLaggen clan. But when a gunpowder explosion kills him after cowardly hiding, he’s unable to make it to the afterlife. His ancestors wait for him until he can avenge his honour by making a McLaggen descendant bow before him and apologize for dishonouring their name.Centuries later, Murdoch Glourie is still haunting Glourie castle while his own descendant, Donald, is selling the old place.A rich American girl, Peggy Martin, takes a fancy to the castle and convinces her parents to buy it, especially since Donald is a very charming fellow.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The castle is bought by the rich Martins, taken down, stone by stone, and shipped off to Florida, except the ghost and his misfortunes goes with it.Not to be confused with The Ghoul Goes West, a film by Ed Wood.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Donald finds out that Mr. Bigalow is the last descendant of the McLaggens, so he tells Murdoch. Murdoch makes the descendant say this: "In the name of every McLaggen that ever disgraced the fair name of Scotland, I humbly apologized for the insult to my superiors, the Glouries, and I freely admit that one Glourie can thrash fifty McLaggens." After this, Murdoch can finally ascend into heaven with the rest of his ancestors. "Now touch the floor with your nose."
