Plot

American defector Howard Bainbridge (Frank Farmer) returns to the US for one last reunion with his son Paul (Anthony Norwalk). Unfortunately, Bainbridge gets into an argument with his ultra-right wing father Justin Bainbridge (Andrew Duggan), who ends up killing Howard and burying the body on his huge estate. The IMF's mission is to recover the body--and with it a sample of the deadly contaminated nerve gas that the defector had been working on before he died. Scripted by Ed Adamson and Ken Pettus from a story by Adamson and John D.F. Black, "A Ghost Story" originally aired on February 27 1971. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
