After marrying, amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey (Robert Montgomery) and mystery novelist Harriet Vane (Constance Cummings) agree to retire from their sleuthing interests. Along with their devoted butler, Bunter (Seymour Hicks), the couple sets off on a honeymoon to Harriet's old family cottage in Devon, which Peter has purchased for Harriet. The day after their arrival, a dead body is found at the cottage and, despite their best efforts, Peter and Harriet are drawn into the investigation.
Haunted Honeymoon is based on Busman's Honeymoon, a Lord Peter Wimsey novel. Here, Peter (Robert Montgomery) has finally married Harriet (Constance Cummings), and as a wedding gift, Peter has bought Harriet's childhood home, Tall Boys, in Biddlecombe for her. Though they have both sworn off having anything to do with murders - him solving them, her writing about them -- they're faced with the murder of the former owner of the house, with plenty of suspects.
