After his death, Fred Mumford wants a second chance at achieving the success that eluded him in life. Coming back to Earth as a spirit, he recruits a Victorian gent and a medieval jester to set up 'Rentaghost', a supernatural service for wanted hauntings.
The Meaker's latest money-making scheme comes to be in the form of Rentananny. Harold tries to use a copying spell to give Ethel driving lessons.
At the Meakers, Harold is ill in bed and Ethel's singing voice can break glass (literally!). The Perkins hire a private detective to spy on their neighbours.
Ethel's voice can now break wood. The ghosts try to protect Adam Paintings roller disco from being burgled.
Rentaghost work in Mr Painting's beauty parlour. Ethel becomes an agony aunt and gives advice to her husband.
Mr Claypole and Hazel the McWitch compete to create the best invention. Mr Meaker is transformed into a sunflower and Mr Painting is shrunk. The Perkins decide to move away from the Meakers.
