Detailed Synopsis
Peter Van Garrett writes and signs his last will and testament which is witnessed by Jonathan Masbath. As Peter is traveling in his carriage, driven by Dirk Van Garrett, a horse quickly rides by. He hears the sound of a scythe and looks outside his carriage window and sees Dirk, now headless. Peter jumps out of the carriage and into a corn field where he too has his head cut off.
In New York City in 1799, Ichabod Crane rings a bell for help. He then tells two deputies of a body he found in the river. Thuggish Constable and another constable bring the body on a cart and the High Constable tells them to burn the body. Crane thinks they should do an autopsy, but the High Constable thinks doing an autopsy would be barbaric. Constable One brings in someone arrested for burglary, and the burglar is thrown in the pit. In court, Crane criticizes the way the courts treat evidence and prisoners in front of the High Constable and Burgomaster.
