Just before Halloween, the grave digger is hired by Pierce and Kreskin to unearth a body in a forgotten Salem cemetery. He finds the casket and pulls it out of the ground. The men are stopped, however, by the Skeleton Man. While Pierce and Kreskin fight the guy, the grave digger makes off with the casket in hopes of finding the person who wanted the body and claim the money due for himself. Before he can leave the graveyard, however, a ghost dog tackles him and torments him for the night. The Skeleton Man finally allows the grave digger to leave, which he does. And with much haste.
