Relatives and loyal servants are gathered to hear the reading of Mr. Cyrus Wentworth'S last wishes. As the lawyer reads the wishes Cyrus snubs everyone there. Then the sort of tontine plot is delivered. Some will be rich others may get $1.50. It all hinges on whether the deceased gets his wish and is laid to rest above ground so he can see the stars. Or wither some unscrupulous person(s) will bury him underground thus reversing the will.
Not trusting each other and wanting to get some sleep they hire a guard. Instead, an insurance salesman Albert Tuttle (Jack Haley) appears and is mistaken for the guard.
The fun begins.
All the standard clichés and scenarios are played out appropriately. The only exceptional part is waiting to see who will drink the coffee and Bela Lugosi's facial expressions.
