St. John and his friend have a deranged interest in robbing graves. They constantly defile crypts and often keep souvenirs of their nocturnal expeditions. Since they reside in the same house, they have the opportunity to set up a sort of morbid museum in their basement.

The collection consists of headstones, preserved bodies, skulls, and several heads in different phases of decomposition.
