The Ghost and Mr. Chicken

Continuity mistake: Outside the Simmons mansion, Luther and Mrs. Maxwell are standing by the gate. Closeup shot of Luther shows a bush behind him, being blown by a breeze. The shots of Luther and Mrs. Maxwell show Luther with the stone column of the gate behind him, not shrubbery, and no breeze blowing.

Continuity mistake: After hearing the woman scream, Luther wheels his car around, stopping in the middle of the street. Interior shots of Luther show a lawn and flowers through his driver side window, when there should be the street itself.
