In nineteenth-century Scotland, two Irish laborers devised a scheme -- sell unclaimed corpses to the Edinburgh medical community. Their chief buyer was Dr. Robert Knox, whose personal ambition created a voracious need for more human corpses. However, Burke and Hare soon ran out of unclaimed bodies ... so they turned to grave-robbing and eventually murder as a money-making enterprise.
