The Canterville Ghost

A young person, inheriting the legacy of a ghost who was confined for lack of bravery, strives to redeem their ancestor's honor by showcasing courage in the face of adversity, ultimately aiming to liberate the trapped spirit.

In the 17th century, a cowardly nobleman, Sir Simon of Canterville, takes refuge in his family's castle after fleeing a duel. His ashamed father condemns him to eternal life as a ghost, hoping that one of his descendants will redeem the family's honor by performing a brave deed. Centuries later, Sir Simon finds a glimmer of hope when he meets Cuffy Williams, an American relative stationed at the castle with his troops during World War II.
