This installment of "Thriller" starts off extremely well. The usual introduction by Boris Karloff is more imaginative and funny than usual...so be sure to watch it.

The story then begins at a cemetery. Edward was just buried and Dr. Thorne (Karloff) has just arrived...too late to attend to his friend. But Thorne insists that his friend was healthy and there is no logical reason for his death. So, despite no court order, he opens the crypt and finds his friend...alive!!! It seems that Edward has some rare epileptic disorder and this could happen again. Because of this, Thorne warns everyone about Edward's condition and even makes an emergency necklace for the man to wear so he's never buried prematurely again. As for Edward, he also makes some arrangements so this will not happen again. But what neither considered is Edward's fiancee. She is bent on having his fortune and necklace or not, she's gonna bury him the first chance she gets!!!

Overall, this is a very exciting and creepy episode...one well worth your time.
