Don Knotts is most famous for his run as Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show; The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, a movie put together by that program's writers and starring Knotts as a very similar character, seems almost like an episode they wrote but couldn't quite get to work.

Luther Heggs (Knotts) is a typesetter at a newspaper who becomes a local celebrity after spending the night in a seemingly haunted house. Most of the humour derives from the way that Heggs, an insecure bumbler, stumbles into both triumph and tribulation. It's all very uninspiring.
