Spoilers ahead
In 1979, a solitary Grave Robber slips into a crypt in search of jewelry, but greed meets its comeuppance as the undead ambush him after he uncovers and clutches more riches than he can carry.
Decades later, a man is shown stepping out from prison, and his girlfriend picks him up at the gate to head to a meeting with friends. Among the group is a seasoned thief, a woman who insists she can amass a fortune quickly by raiding the crypt beneath the city. She unveils a gold ring she claims to have retrieved from below and explains a quirk of history: during the Great Depression, wealthy families feared confiscation by the government and buried their jewelry with ancestral remains, hoping it would stay hidden and intact.
