Background

Jerry is a medical student in England.

During the events of The Vault of Horror (1973) played by Geoffrey Davies

As Tom is reading Fundamentals of Current Medical Treatment, he tells Jerry he won't be able to learn anatomy without a body to work on. The Landlady goes inside Maitland's room and screams when she sees him apparently dead. Tom and Jerry run into the room and Jerry gives Tom a look and looks down at Maitland's body. Later Tom and Jerry go to the cemetery and meet up with the Gravedigger and they agree to pay him after he digs up Maitland's body. As the Gravedigger continues to dig, Tom thinks he hears a cough. The Gravedigger finishes digging and as he opens the coffin door, Maitland jumps up and screams Alex causing Tom and Jerry to run away out of the cemetery and into the street. Alex, who is driving nearby, swerves to miss them and crashes his car into a tree, causing it to burst into flames. The Gravedigger calls to Tom and Jerry and tells them he is sorry about the head as he shows them the body of the now really dead Maitland which has a shovel wound in the forehead.
