After Slip discovers a spiritualist in the neighborhood, he enlists the boys to investigate. They discover that she is a fake who is working for Margo the Medium, a radio star who has convinced Sach and Whitey that ghosts exist.
The boys visit her, using Louie as a decoy. While she is busy trying to connect to Louie's dead uncle, the rest of the boys investigate the house. A real ghost named Edgar befriends Sach and helps him investigate. Although the others cannot see Edgar, he helps them uncover Margo's scam.
