Holroyds is an old, established firm of undertakers who are raucously celebrating the demise of their only competitor in town. During their jubilation at the Undertakers’ Annual Ball, however, they learn that a rival five-star, plush company has opened in opposition. On hearing this, they embark on a series of bungled attempts to put them out of business.
