The Tell-Tale Corpse

Two ex-cons named Ernie and Sid get out of jail and go see their old cellmate Ted's aunt. She has one key to a treasure chest with $100,000 inside, and they have the other key. After they murder Aunt Grace to steal her share of the money, things get messy when she won't stay buried.

Ernie and Sid, just out of prison, visit the Aunt of ex prison-mate Ted because she has a key that opens the second lock of a chest that contains $100,000. They have the other key. Complications occur after they kill Aunt Grace to get her half of the loot -- she refuses to stay dead.

Ernie Blake and Sid Sullivan, just out of jail, are the happy possessors of a key given them by a fellow inmate, now deceased. The dead man’s Aunt Grace has the other key needed to open a chest that holds $100,000 in stolen cash. When they find the chest, with Aunt Grace’s help, the two kill her and stuff her body into their auto’s trunk. But Aunt Grace, who wanted her share of the loot, has no intention of allowing Sid and Ernie to keep it all for themselves.
