Synopsis:
A needy couple picks up a jade statue guaranteeing that it grants three wishes so she wishes for money. The husband remembers a story he once read called 'The Monkey's Paw' and tells her not to wish for it, but she does anyway. Later, Jason is killed in an accident, and the wife gets his insurance money. She wishes him back to life before the accident, but since he died of a heart attack prior to the accident, he doesn't live again. Distraught, the wife now just wishes him back to life: with horrifying results!
