Synopsis

In early 19th century England, the highwayman known as Gentleman Jim Craddock is executed for his crimes, but he vows to return and resume his criminal career. When an apparent ghostly bandit surfaces in Europe, the Hawks travel to London where they meet the Gentleman Ghost. However, while matching wits with him they disagree on whether he is truly a ghost, or a man pretending to be one.
