From time immemorial, a little peaceful ghost has been dwelling on the castle Eulenstein. Its biggest wish is to see the world at daylight only once. When by mistake the turret clock strikes midnight at noon, the white nightghost turns into a black dayghost. An adventurous time begins – not only for the inhabitants of Eulenstein.
