When Margaret was walking through a lot, she heard a woman's voice coming from underground, begging for someone to dig her up. When she tells her parents about it, they don't believe her, but they do discuss the Nesbitts. Once long ago, when her father was engaged to Helen Nesbitt, she wrote a song for him, but they broke off the engagement. Later, Margaret returns to the lot and hears a sad song being sung by the woman, the song Helen once wrote for her father! After she hums the song to her father, they realize the truth and dig her up.
