Ghostly demands move Peter Baines to pay out
In Taylorsville an eccentric loner Peter Baines is tormented by five ghosts each demanding payment to secure marriages for five women. The specters press him to distribute 2000, 2000, 1000, 1500 dollars, with threats of death and curses if he refuses. He ultimately fills his legacy to save himself, and none return.
