Zombie!
The Zombie, wanders through the swamps of Louisiana, until it is time to answer the call of his master. Upon reaching his master he is ordered to go into town to get him money.
The Zombie wanders into the French Quarter of New Orleans, but the revelers take little notice of him. Those who do react, merely think that he is simply another partier wearing an elaborate costume. The zombie attacks a pedestrian, but a policeman takes notice and gives chase.
The Zombie returns to his master's cottage, but the man is enraged to see that he came back empty handed. He then orders the zombie to attack a young woman at the main house. The master plans on staging her rescue from the zombie in order to gain her affection.
The Zombie breaks into the woman's room, but feels an uncontrollable urge to turn away. A part of the Zombie's humanity recalls this woman as his own daughter, and he is incapable of killing her. The Zombie returns to the garden shed and strangles his former master. He then wanders back to his own shallow grave and lies down.
