Practical Joker Mort McNulty hosts his own wake so
that he can hear what people will say about him after
he's dead, before he's dead
Mort's wife, Tricia, gets unwillingly drawn into the action and apologetically tries to convince everyone that Mort is playing another joke
We meet a variety of wakegoers - some there on purpose, some not - who eventually, with the right amount of suggestion and imagination, convince themselves that Mort is dead and Tricia is in denial
The mistaken identities, chases, and jokes within jokes within jokes culminate in Tricia turning Mort's wake into a suprise party as she tries to teach her husband a lesson about practical jokes
