George Bird, un représentant célibataire sans famille ni ami, rend visite à son docteur pour un examen de routine et apprend qu'il est atteint de la maladie de Lampington, et qu'il ne lui reste donc plus que quelques semaines à vivre. Sur les conseils du docteur, il décide de profiter du peu qui lui reste à vivre et part vivre ses derniers jours dans un hôtel où réside une clientèle d'élite. Là-bas, son attitude désinvolte attise l'intérêt des résidents, qui cherchent à résoudre cette énigme, spéculant sur son identité, voire sur son appartenance à l'aristocratie. Seule une des femmes de ménage devine la vérité et Bird lui avoue son secret. Il se fait des amis, gagne de l'influence, tombe amoureux, répare des injustices, et on lui propose même des affaires lucratives. Mais tous ses succès ne font que lui rappeler l'ironie de sa situation.

A composer discovers that inspiration for his greatest work may come at the expense of his marriage. Richard Wilder (Michael Dennison) was an RAF pilot in World War II whose plane was shot down over the Italian Dolomite Mountains. His life is saved by Alida (Valentina Cortese), a beautiful woman working with the anti-fascist resistance, who nurses Wilder back to health and with whom Wilder has an affair. She tells him a local legend about two lovers - one a ghost who leads her faithless partner to his doom over a mountain precipice on the Glass Mountain. When the war ends, Wilder returns to his English home and wife Ann (Dulcie Gray), and begins composing an opera based on the legend of Dolemite, the Glass Mountain, which has begun to haunt him. His English home however, does not prove conducive to creativity, so he returns to the source of his inspiration, to Italy, and to Alida, and is able to successfully complete his work. But he has fallen in love with Alida, and with the triumph of his opera in Venice, must now choose between his muse and his wife, as the mythical and modern levels of the legend of the Glass Mountain coincide.

The impecunious owner of a haunted Scottish castle has to juggle the advances of an American heiress who wishes to buy him out, the love of his longtime assistant who wants to marry him, and a Coal Board official who wishes to commandeer the estate. The British National Coal Board wants to annex the owner's castle as a group home for local miners and their families. Wealthy, much-married American Mrs. Clodfelter Dunne (Barbara Kelly) wants to claim the castle—and its owner, the Earl of Locharne (David Tomlinson)--for herself. Meanwhile, eccentric boarder Miss Nicholson (Margaret Rutherford) is obsessed with the idea that the Earl is actually the rightful King of Scotland. There is also a beautiful ghost, played by Patricia Dainton. "Castle in the Air" was based on the popular stage play by Alan Melville.
