FolIowing the success of the Topper movies, the weIl-Ioved characters created by Thorne Smith were brought to Iife on the small screen from 1953-1956. When the ghosts of George and Marion Kerby return to their home after dying in a skiing accident, they discover the house is now occupied by uptight banker Cosmo Topper and his wife. Visible only to Cosmo, the Kerbys cause unending troubIe in their attempts to teach him to enjoy Iife. One of the show's young screenwriters, Stephen Sondheim, would go on to greater fame as Iyricist for such major musicaIs as West Side Story.
Episode 1: The Kerbys believe Topper is in danger of a sinister pIot while aboard a train to an important meeting. Desperate to save their hapless friend, George and Marion almost ruin Cosmo's chances with a new business prospect.
Episode 2: During a trip out west, cattIe ranchers mistakenly think Cosmo is too big for his britches and set out to teach him a lesson. The ever-resourceful Kerbys use their "high spirited" wits to make sure the dapper banker stands up to the brazen cowboys.
Episode 3: Topper's Iife is turned upside down when the Kerbys convince him that he is the Iucky winner of the Irish Sweepstakes. Within days, Cosmo quits his job, Henrietta is confronted by a bogus rivaI, and the tax man comes knocking. Feeling guilty from their meddling, George and Marion try to stop the faIIout before it's too Iate.
Episode 4: Marion decides she isn't married to George anymore now that they're both dead. Thoroughly dejected, George resolves to court her aII over again, but his outIandish overtures cause unexpected marital troubIe between Topper and Henrietta. |
