Frankenstein's hobby is building coffins for an exhibit, and he asks his servant Junior to prepare a spiderweb sandwich while he continues working. When Junior disappears, Frankenstein discovers that an undertaker named Brother Jones has enlisted him as a vacuum cleaner salesman, claiming his coffins—designed to last five hundred years—are perfect for people who come to life after burial. After Frankenstein realizes the undertaker is sending bodies from the graveyard to become salesmen, he attempts to escape, leading to a car chase where his vehicle crashes and he finds himself stranded with other confused victims of the scheme.
