A man murders his rival and buries his body in the grave of someone who died in 1867. When he confesses in his sleep, his new wife confronts him and he murders both her and the maid. With police on his heels he takes to an underground tunnel system that passes through the old graveyard. A coffin obstructs his path and he smashes an opening into it to reach inside and pry it out of the way. The corpse inside bites down hard on his hand causing him to bleed to death. As life fades, he notices the name plate on the coffin is the same one that he disposed of the body of his rival.

A Tasty Morsel!
