Rest Assured
Author(s):
Donald Payton
Mr. Morlock, a miserly, feuding old man, won't let his daughter become engaged to Joe because Joe's papa is poor. When Joe's papa, Luigi, comes to plead his son's case, the two men start a feud that puts the Hatfield-McCoy fracas to shame. Mr. Morlock says if Mary weds Joe it'll be over his dead body. Luigi says if they don't, it'll be over his. When Luigi has a heart attack, the feud appears over. Luigi's ghost, visible only to Morlock, haunts him unmercifully, until Morlock accidentally overdoses on sleeping pills. However, Morlock won't leave this earth until things are settled to his satisfaction, and Luigi says he can't rest in peace until Mary and Joe are married. So 'round they go again. When Lucifer enters to claim Morlock, the poor fellow realized his mistakes and pleads for another chance. The answer to it is a happy ending that your audience will love.
