Ox PennerBones

When Ox Penner's enforcer Bones arrives to collect him and the winnings from a betting coup, Ox sees only one way out—a carefully staged accident on the long drive back to the city. But as Ox sets his plan in motion, a chance discovery on a darkened roadside turns his scheme into something far more catastrophic than he bargained for. A sharp twist on the old "foolproof plan" that reminds us why some stories are better left unread.

Tom and Nancy Sparrow hatch an elaborate insurance fraud scheme: she'll be buried alive in a specially prepared coffin with a hidden air supply, and after a few days—once the insurance payout is underway—he'll exhume her and they'll split the $100,000. But when an insurance investigator demands the body be examined, Tom's desperation leads him to make a fatal miscalculation in the family graveyard. This 1953 crime tale from Lawbreakers Suspense Stories turns a clever con into a nightmare neither of the Sparrows anticipated.
