Miss Amy, a lonely elderly woman in town, is heartbroken that her grown children never visit. She hatches an unusual plan with help from Doc Baker and the Ingalls family: she will fake her own death so her family will finally come home for the funeral.
The scheme is equal parts funny and sad as the mourners gather. When Amy rises from her coffin to surprise everyone, the reunion forces her children to face how badly they have neglected her, and she gets the family time she has longed for.
