Victor sta per prendere in moglie la sua fidanzata Victoria quando, durante il tragitto verso il luogo del matrimonio, si ferma in un bosco per riposare. Dal terreno spunta fuori qualcosa a forma di dito e, per scherzo, Victor ci infila l'anello pronunciando i voti nuziali. Il dito si anima e il cadavere sepolto di una ragazza uccisa torna in vita dichiarando di essere ora ufficialmente sposata con Victor.
