In "Gas-tly Prospects!", a desperate gold prospector named Jeff "Whitey" Whittiker meets a grim end at the hands of a ruthless claim jumper, only to find himself trapped in a haunting limbo where death is no escape. As the killer tries to bury him, Whitey’s spectral presence reveals a chilling truth: some graves are meant to stay open. The Crypt-Keeper narrates this tale of greed and retribution from beyond the grave.

After secretly bringing her to the States to launch her film career, his romance is shattered when her step-father arrives with a revelation that unravels everything. The Vault-Keeper warns: some stories aren’t meant to have a happy ending.
