"The Timid Ghost" has a real bizarre plot. Charles (Charles Kemper) stops by a bar for a drink in order to bolster his courage to propose to his fiancee. There, he meets a drunk who wants to sell him a ghost. Finding the situation funny, he agrees...giving the guy $.50. Later, when he's in his apartment, the ghost shows up with a skeleton friend and announces he belongs to Charles until he sells him to some other unsuspecting sucker!
While the plot is utterly ridiculous, it has two things going for it. The ghost effects, for 1937, are awfully good. Plus, believe it or not, it really is rather funny!
