#13

Synopsis

A man envious of the accolades showered upon the dead at their funerals resolves to slay the town's richest man so he can substitute for the corpse and enjoy the pomp and circumstance. He uses a knife to disfigure the victim so that a closed casket request will be made and then he takes his place in the coffin. Unfortunately for him, the deceased's final instructions entailed cremation.
