On his wedding night, of all times, a husband appropriately named Ace (Adriano Celentano) gambles away the night at a local bar-and wins a handy amount of money. As Ace heads home to his waiting bride Silvia (Edwige Fenech), he is killed by a hired gun. When he reappears to his wife, he has a hard time convincing her that only she can see him....he is definitely invisible to everyone else, and definitely quite dead. Aghast at his wife's determination to go to work as dancer on stage, he undermines her rehearsal and then connives to get her married off to an appropriately aged and wealthy banker. So the next question arises-is there divorce after death?
