When the show begins, you learn that a married couple have only been together a few months and it turns out the husband is the woman's second...her first apparently died. Now things soon get interesting when she learns she has a winning Irish Sweepstakes ticket...and it was purchased by her late husband! But the pair look high and low and find no evidence of this winning ticket. Ultimately, the wife realizes there is only one place the ticket could be...in the clothing in which her husband was buried!! She realizes however that she could have the body exhumed and she could still cash in this ticket. Oddly, however, her new husband is against this and says exhuming the body is ghoulish and disgusting. Well, when he isn't home, she goes ahead and has the body exhumed. Now comes the big twist...and it's a doozy!
The "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" program, like most anthology programs, was highly uneven. There were definitely quite a few duds and after following several, "Post Mortem" is a welcome relief...well written, funny and the sort of thing that made this show worth seeing.
