A hotel patron dies while staying at Fawlty Towers, and Basil mistakenly thinks that the death is because of some kippers that were "off". After a frantic rush to get rid of the incriminating evidence, he finds out that the kippers aren't at fault, but now Basil has to find a place to put the body until the undertakers come; unfortunately, eveywhere he puts it seems to upset the guests who are still in the land of the living.
