Anne Jeffreys played Marion Kirby, Robert Sterling was George Kirby and the lead character of “Topper” was played by Leo G. Carroll. “Topper” was called the first of “the spirit shows” of the day. Marion and George Kirby had died with their dog, Neil (a Saint Bernard) in an avalanche while on a skiing vacation. The three characters returned to their home — now occupied by Topper. The adventures of the Kirbys, their dog and Topper were quite chaotic and a lot of fun to watch. The story was loosely based on the writings of Thorne Smith.
