Adam (Baldwin) and Barbara (Davis) are a normal couple, who happen to be dead. They have given their precious time to decorate the house and make it their own, but unfortunately a family are moving in, and not quietly. Adam and Barbara try to scare them out, but ends up becoming the main attraction to the money making family. They call upon Beetlejuice (Keaton) to help, but Beetlejuice has more in more in mind than the just helping.
