Dead Ernest (SUSP)

A cataleptic man involved in an accident appears has a seizure and appears to be dead. His medical alerts are accidentally separated from his body and he is sent to the morgue!

This is a great little tale of suspense. The audience listens as a housewife races to solve the mystery of a note she finds in a sportcoat her husband has just purchased in a thrift shop ... a note that could save Ernest's life.

There is a funy and not-so-subtle moralistic undercurrent to this story. The shop owner who buys the jacket is "Honest Dan" and several careless individuals are called out by the narrator.
