SYNOPSIS 
	 
When Mrs. Brown decides to take up the fiddle, Martin hears 
a dissonance that short circuits his nervous system and causes him to 
become transparent. In an effort to alter the instrument which 
produces this horrible sound, Martin and Tim become involved with the 
creator of the violin, a pathetic fiddle-maker named Antonio Amalfi. 
As if Amalfi's inability to create a workmanlike violin weren't enough 
of a problem, his son Johnny is leaving the firm of Amalfi and Sons to 
become a salesman and the formerly great name in violin-making will 
expire. 
 
Touched by the man's plight, Martin conspires to teach the 
man the secret of great violin playing. However, while in the act of 
helping him, Martin is inadvertently exposed to the playing of one of 
the horrible violins. Trapped and desperate for an explanation he 
confesses that his transparent self is really the ghost of Stradivari 
who has come back in order to tell the great secret to Amalfi. 
 
Armed with this knowledge, the old Italian is able to 
convince his son to stay and carry on the great name. Thanks to 
Martin, there will always be an Amalfi and Son.
