Mimi's Ghost

Morris Duckworth is back-newly married, wealthy, and employed, but just as discontented as ever. He can't seem to get over the loss of his wife's sister Mimi, but he should have thought of that before he kidnapped and killed her. Just as our unsavory hero is beginning to adjust to his new life, he visits Mimi's grave on the "Day of the Dead," and the charming photograph of Mimi on the gravestone distinctly winks at him, which does not bode well for his latest scheme; exploiting poor African immigrants as cheap labor. Nor, for that matter, do lingering questions about Mimi's demise or the "accidents" to which all of Morris's enemies seem so unaccountably prone.
