An old man who lives at the top of a hill dies one day. The small town's undertaker does not have a hearse, so he must take the body in a horse-drawn carriage down the hill.
On the way down the hill, the casket falls off the carriage and begins to slide down the snow-covered hill onto the main street of the town below. The undertaker is running behind the casket trying to catch it.
At the end of the street there is a pharmacy, whose doors are propped open. The casket continues to slide, into the pharmacy, and past the counter. The undertaker is close behind, and as he passes the pharmicist, he turns and asks him: "Do you have anything to stop this coughin' ?"
