Eccentric scientist Professor Padilla needs one final ingredient to prove his theory, and Stan and Ollie agree to help in exchange for $500. They're tasked with retrieving a fresh body from the local cemetery for Padilla's experiment, but nothing goes as planned in the eerie graveyard. As they try to complete their mission, they encounter strange sounds and terrifying events that threaten to derail their assignment.
