Synopsis for "Who Has Been Lying in My Grave?"
After circus acrobat Boston Brand, aka Deadman, is killed during his act by a hook-handed sniper with a high-powered rifle, his ghost remains earthbound. Rama Kushna, the spirit of the universe, tells Deadman that he will have the power to walk among men until he finds his murderer. Deadman soon finds that he has the power to enter and control living people's bodies. Taking over the body of Tiny, the circus strongman, he breaks up a dope-smuggling racket within the show and then begins his search for his killer.
