Plot

[edit]

Crooks Bob and Billy steal some jewelry while the employees are busy. They are captured and imprisoned, but devise a plan. They put seals on their attorney's peanut butter jar and pass them off as stool samples then devour it on front of the court, which decides they are insane and send them to a mental institution.

The duo immediately build a plan to escape the facility, by hiding in caskets ready for burial. Then their accomplice will exhume them and let them escape. But their plan had a problem, a nurse, Marcia Cunanan acts as their nurse-in-charge, as well as Dr. Jessica Lopez the head doctor, forcing them in horrific situations. During their stay they hear a story about Ramil who claims to be a criminal that acts insane in order to escape the law and tried to escape by pretending to be dead and gets buried in the next door cemetery but died as a result. The duo try to pull off the same plan, but later split when Billy hesitates and tries to find another way out.

Bob is buried, but his accomplice (their attorney) gets into a car accident. Marcia is revealed to be a ghost, jealous because Ramil loved Jessica more than her, and after committing suicide starts terrorizing the duo. Ramil, after he is buried alive along with Marcia reveals himself as a ghost, wrestles control on them and saves them.

Days later, the duo relent and confess their sins, the corpses are reburied, and years later, they volunteer in the same facility as caregivers.
