Smug undertaker Waldo (Vincent Price) is horrible to everyone including his assistant Felix (Peter Lorre) and his wife Amaryllis (Joyce Jameson). He is also trying to kill his father-in-law Amos (Boris Karloff). However, Waldo has a problem, there isn't enough business and he has a big bill to pay given to him by Mr Black (Basil Rathbone).
If enough people arn't dying in the town then Waldo has a dark and depraved way to solve that... kill people himself!
An interesting black comedy with a superb cast. It does include some truly delicious wickedness (i like the joke that Waldo reuses the same coffin over and over, tossing the occupant out when everyone has gone and taking the coffin home for a clean!) At times though the film is a little too goofy and cheesy. The cast makes it worthwhile.
