"Et pust af midnat" er en magisk fortælling om en usædvanlig pagt mellem en død tryllekunstner og en forældreløs dreng. Det hele begynder, da den forældreløse Touch må rejse afsted til sin grandonkel, dommer Henry Wigglesforth, for at hente en arv. På vej i diligencen bliver det stormvejr, og pludselig får Touch øje på et spøgelse uden for vognen. Rygtet siger, at det er genfærdet af en berømt tryllekunstner.
