Synopsis for "The Dead Will Return!"Edit

Florence and Bert had just finished dumping her husband's body in the ocean and made their way back to the lighthouse on the beach. She knew that her husband had a large sum of money somewhere around the house or on the property, and while she was searching outside for it, Bert heard a scream. Rushing to the beach, he saw that the body of Flo's husband has just washed ashore, so he took it and dumped it off the highest cliff in the area.....only to wash ashore again a few days later. Bert decided to take the body this time far up the coast, dump it and return. But Flo was worried and asked him to go back up the coast to make sure the body didn't wash ashore there. While he was gone, Flo remained in the lighthouse....then she saw water seeping under the door, figured it was her dead husband and began climbing the stairs to the top to get away from him. Just as Bert drove up, he heard a horrific scream from the top and the light go out on the lighthouse. He entered the structure, and saw a trail of water leading up the stairs, followed it, and then we hear a scream again. The next day, as government inspectors came to the lighthouse to investigate why the light was out, they found both bodies, covered in seaweed...then they notice a rotted corpse lying on the beach!

At the Hampshire Surgeon School, Professor LeMonet was called into the Dean's office and told that attendance in his classes was falling off, and if he was to remain as a teacher there, he must get more students to enroll. He went out and dug up cadavers for use in his anatomy classes, and enrollment suddenly blossomed. It drew the attention of the Dean, who told LeMonte that he was being promoted to Governor of the entire medical school and that LeMonte was in competition with another teacher to fill the position of Dean. When his competition comes to see him, LeMonte decides to murder him to get the job, which he does....but then he discovers that the newly appointed Governor is retiring because of ill health, and LeMonte sees an opportunity to get that position as well. He is told that if the royal surgeon determines that the school has progressed enough under Dean LeMonte, he will get that position. So LeMonte hires men to go out and kill people along the waterfront area, and bring their cadavers to the school to impress the royal surgeon.....unfortunately, the men make a grievous error, for LeMonte's body is among the other corpses!
