The Undertaker and His Pals
A motorcycle-riding undertaker and his two biker pals create business for the funeral parlor by selecting a victim at random from the telephone book and gruesomely murdering them. The undertaker then overcharges the victim's families for the cheap, shoddy funerals he provides. One of the two bikers is a medical student who chops up the victim's bodies to further his studies. A private detective who has lost two secretaries to the gang pursues them, but is killed by a bomb left by the undertaker. Finally, the police step in and save two other women from falling victim to the gang.
