The Greed of William Hart

Hart and Moore are grave robbers who supply cadavers to medical students in 19th-century Edinburgh. As demand remains high and supply runs low, they begin creating their own supply by murdering vagrants, prostitutes, and drunkards. The plan proves profitable until they poison the likable Jamie, prompting the townsfolk to retaliate. Originally written about Burke and Hare, the film's soundtrack was recut with new names after British censors deemed the original names offensive.
