Someone's trying to bring the dead back to life and it's up to Johnny and Professor Childermass to stop them.

Professor Childermass is stunned when his old friend, Father Higgins, declares that a ghost is trying to contact him. Then the priest disappears. The professor and his friend Johnny Dixon discover some disturbing clues that place Father Higgins in England. He seems to be trying to raise his mother from the grave! When the professor and Johnny catch up to him, they make the most terrifying discovery of all-Father Higgins is possessed by Master-man, the spirit of a long-dead knight determined to rule the world. And it looks as if he's going to get his way.
