"Don't Bury Me Deep"
The Undertaker dreams of the day when the small town's richest patron dies, for surely, that will be the day he strikes it rich. He hears the old man finally passes on, and places him in the most expensive coffin money can buy. When the old man stirs, the Undertaker won't be cheated, and wrestles him back in the coffin. Unfortunately for him, the old man pulls him in and the lid slams shut, locking both in for a premature burial.
