Murder, murder, who's got the body? Or bodies actually. A businessman has an affair with his step-daughter, then kills her and stashes the body in a crematorium coffin about to be shoved into the furnace. But the coffin is salvaged by a crematorium workman who sells empty coffins on the sly to an undertaker. Finding two corpses in this particular coffin, the workman sniffs an opportunity for blackmail.
