Summary: "The Ghost Breaker: A Melodramatic Farce in Four Acts" by Paul Dickey and Charles Goddard is a theatrical play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a gripping yet humorous narrative about feuds, mistaken identities, and supernatural elements, pivotal to the events. The main character, Warren Jarvis, finds himself entangled in a life-or-death situation involving a Princess named Maria Theresa, leading to a series of comedic and dramatic escapades as he navigates through a haunted castle in search of treasure while avoiding the law. The opening of the play sets the stage in a hotel room where Warren Jarvis, having narrowly escaped a violent confrontation, accidentally intrudes into the presence of Princess Maria Theresa. As they interact, it's revealed that Jarvis is on the run from both the law and his family's longstanding feud, particularly after hearing gunshots that indicate more trouble. Princess Maria offers him aid in exchange for his help with a dangerous mission tied to her haunted family castle. The suspense builds as they devise a plan for Jarvis to escape and carry out his task, highlighting both the urgency of their predicament and the comedic misunderstandings inherent in their situation.
