A man keeps mastiffs half-starved in the dungeon so that he can press a button to release them in the event thieves enter his house. His nephew drugs him and wheels his wheelchair into their enclosure so that he will get his money when the dogs finish him. The man's ghost comes back and does the same thing to the nephew.
