Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) Cast

Jeannie senses that her nephew, Daniel, is unhappy with life at his boarding school. When she questions him about the situation, Daniel is reluctant to speak out, but manages to pass her a note stating that a teacher named Mr. Dawkins was recently murdered. Meanwhile, in the afterlife, Wyvern is appalled to learn that Marty has been attempting to master the art of possession, an act that can have serious repercussions for his victims. Jeannie begins investigating Daniel’s claims; she and Jeff get jobs as teacher and nurse at the boys’ school, with a little help from Marty. They soon find that the headmaster, Captain Graves, is apparently exerting a sinister influence on the boys; but when the two detectives’ cover is blown, the pupils decide to take matters into their own hands…
