Summary
Sylvia is an imaginative 16 year old girl who has fallen in love with the man in an old portrait – Alain de Francigny, her grandmother’s lover who died many years ago in a duel.   She is upset when her father is forced to sell the painting to allow them to go on living in their old château.  Amused by his daughter’s fantasies, the Baron engages an actor to play the part of a ghost, to roam the castle on his daughter’s birthday night.  Two other men, each attracted to Sylvie, also decide to pretend to be ghosts to draw her attention.  Needless-to-say, the real ghost of Alain de Francigny is far from amused at this usurpation of his role...
