In "Dead Ernest" a cataleptic is mistaken for dead and taken to the morgue. Can he be saved before he is embalmed?
Ernest Bower suffers from catalepsy, and if he has an attack, he can appear to be dead. He wears a medical bracelet on his wrist and carries in his pocket a detailed letter about his condition.
So, what happens if the bracelet falls off and the letter isn't seen by the right people? With his safeguards gone, Mr. Bower is at the mercy of fate.
That is just what occurs the day that Mr. Bower has an attack after nearly being hit by a car...
