Two medical students need to procure a corpse in order to get an anatomy credit to graduate and pay an imbecile five bucks to dig and grave rob a newly dug grave. The target of their efforts is a man convinced by his 'friend' to take a drug that will emulate the death-like appearance in order to collect a forty thousand dollar insurance policy, not knowing that his friend is going to betray him and abscond with the $40,000!
