Synopsis
One Toe in the Grave
Published by Samuel French Inc
3 Male 4 Female
A cure is accidently discovered in one of the company's patent medicines and Jason's ecstatic boss is arriving any minute with the company doctor to administer the cure and then bask in the publicity
Jason, however, doesn't really have a wife so he cons his fiancee Nicki into pretending to be the invalid. Other impostors appear: friend Poopsie Magruder who initially refused shows up anyhow and Vonga the Jungle Girl was pressed into service by the helpful housekeeper
The cure involves a two inch needle in the armpit and it develops that the disease is contagious, which only complicates the hilarity
