***SPOILERS**** The very out of shape, with him using a cane, and overweight, between 250 to 275 pounds, Raymond Burr as defense attorney Perry Mason has some workout in this movie dodging falling chandeliers as well as ghosts and goblins in trying to get his client, the former Elliot Ness of the Untouchables, Robert Stack as book publisher Jordan White off on a trumped up murder charge. White was set up to take the fall for the murder of mystery writer David Hall, Matthew Faison, who fell or was pushed to his death off the top of the Briarcliff Hotel outside Denver Colorado.
Perry Mason defends publisher Jordan White whom has been accused of killing famed horror novelist David Hall by pushing him off the bell tower at a creepy and supposedly haunted hotel in Denver Colorado. White was about to sue Hall because in his last bestseller, "The Resort", a character resembled him and detailed the unpleasant circumstances surrounding the tragic death of his young son.
Famous Stephen King like novelist Matthew Faison invites several people whom he's crossed in the past to an evening at a hotel owned by young Kim Delaney and purportedly haunted by the ghost of her father. Her father committed suicide by jumping off a tower and later on she sees Faison doing the same thing.
