"For the Girl who Has Everything" is the twelfth episode of the popular 1969 ITC British television series Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) starring Mike Pratt, Kenneth Cope and Annette Andre. The episode was first broadcast on 6 December 1969 on the ITV. Directed by Cyril Frankel. Starring Lois Maxwell

James McAllister (Freddie Jones), a ghost hunter, is hired by Kim Wentworth (Lois Maxwell), a wealthy American to investigate her home, Crake Castle, for paranormal activity. He requests assistance from Jeff Randall, but is killed while on night watch at the castle. Randall and Hopkirk investigate, and Jeff becomes suspicious when Kim Wentworth offers him a handsome sum to drop the investigation, which he rejects, much to the amazement of Jeannie.

It appears that McAllister has been killed by Kim's husband, Larry (Michael Coles), attempting to frighten Kim away so that he can leave and marry his attractive girlfriend Laura (Carol Cleveland), which Randall finds residing in Larry's "studio", a cosy cottage. Randall discovers that Kim is having an affair with her French toyboy butler, Jean-Claude (Paul Bertoya), and that he and Kim are responsible for McAlllister's death and that it is Jean-Claude who has been dressing up as a ghost. It is their plan to rid of her husband Larry, inherit and sell off the estate, and then leave the country together.

Jeff finds himself locked in a secret compartment, an old priesthole, located behind the bookcase in the castle library. Luckily, Marty befriends an elderly lady, Mrs Pleasance (Marjorie Rhodes), in the cafeteria in the nearby village who is able to see and hear him and with her help is able to rescue Randall.
