Time, 1820s. Setting, an Edinburgh graveyard. One-act drama. William Burke and William Hare are in the act of robbing a new grave when the dead man's widow arrives to watch over his body. Nimble-minded Burke decides to convince her that they, too, are watching over the body. A plan that nets the robbers two victims instead of one for the anatomists.
