After intrepid working girl Mary Carter becomes the new owner of a reputedly haunted mansion located off the Cuban coast, a stranger phones warning her to stay away from the castle. Undaunted, Mary sets sail for Cuba with a stowaway in her trunk—wise-cracking Larry Lawrence, a radio announcer who helps Mary get to the bottom of the voodoo magic, zombies and ghosts that supposedly curse the spooky estate.

    Decent movie. No “Road” flick but entertaining. Willie Best has a great part and plays it very well.

    "The Ghost Breakers" clearly reflects its time and didn't quite hit the mark for me. The humor, particularly the jokes surrounding the manservant, didn’t age well and felt offensive.
