The funeral parlor needs more customers if it is going to stay in business. Waldo's solution is to kill a few people whose services will then help pay the rent. Now, Waldo and his inept assistant Felix Gillie (Peter Lorre) start sneaking into homes at night and killing people. The plan works—but when they try, again and again, to poison Waldo's father-in-law, he just will not stay dead.
