The barmaid at the Rose of Erin pub finds an old rocking chair in the shed and decides it would make a good present for her landlord Marty Maran. Soon after Marty accepts the chair, two ghosts appear from it – Lily, a woman who was beaten to death several years ago by her husband, who was the owner of the Rose of Erin, and Ruthie, a girl who died of fever in the rocking chair in the previous century. They are only able to appear in the vicinity of the chair. By dismantling the chair and carrying pieces of it with him, Marty walks around the city with them as invisible companions. There Lily becomes determined to avenge her death.

The film is in the tradition of Topper and the Canterville Ghost.

Taken from the boxset Driver X 4: The Lost and Found Films of Sara Driver.
