The Death and Sale of Alexander Goland
4 Male, 4 Female
Nikki Harmon Price: $8.25
In a mythical country somewhere north of Detroit, Mrs Goland
arrives in the office of the Minister of Social Services without
enough money to bury her husband
To help her, a burial-by-proxy scheme is hatched. For a fee, plus tax, of course, the government decides to sell 24 ct. gold certificates to the common people who begin buying them on behalf of their dead loved ones, not buried with the pomp they deserved
The certificates are to be placed with Mr Goland in his coffin wherein both will receive a lavish state funeral
Unfortunately Mr Goland, who has been kept on ice, literally, in his ice cream truck, is misplaced when the truck is towed away for a parking violation
Chaos reigns when Mr Goland, not dead at all, thaws, is reunited
with his wife and, through twists imaginable only in absurdist
comedies, becomes the Minister of Social Services, through no
fault of his own
