“A Nice Farm Upstate With Plenty of Room to Run Around” is a failing pet funeral home run by brothers Steve and Marty Martin. With their business teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, an eccentric old woman offers them a fortune for the funeral of her beloved racehorse. One problem: the horse isn’t quite dead.
