Summary "The Ghost of Jerry Bundler" by W. W. Jacobs and Charles Rock is a comedic play likely written in the early 20th century. This theatrical piece revolves around a ghost story and showcases the humorous interactions of a group of characters sharing tales of supernatural encounters in a quaint country inn. The story unfolds in a comfortable, old-fashioned hotel room, where the ambiance contributes to the unfolding mystery and comedic tension. The play highlights a group of travelers who engage in discussions about the ghost of Jerry Bundler, a notorious character from the past who met a grim fate in the very inn where they are staying. As the night progresses, misconceptions and jokes escalate, culminating in a practical joke involving disguises, mistaken identities, and a tension-filled encounter with what they believe to be the ghost. The climax leads to a humorous twist, revealing that the ghostly figure is, in fact, one of the characters attempting to scare the others. Combining elements of intrigue and comedy, the play explores themes of fear and the human penchant for storytelling, all while amusing the audience with lighthearted banter and unexpected outcomes.
