"George" was the name given by medical students to one of the cadavers in the anatomy laboratory. He turned out to be an unidentified criminal, a man who betrayed his partners in crime by claiming that a rival gang had stolen their hard-earned loot, when really he had swallowed the jewels himself, an act of greed that would cost him his life. His unclaimed body ended up in the city morgue and was eventually used by the anatomy students of [Miami University School of Medicine.] Andrea, a bright and instinctively curious student, spends her weekend studying in the morgue. One day she comes across something interesting, a hard object inside George's Intestinal tract. It turns out to be a beautiful piece of jewelry. After a thorough scrubbing, she doesn't see the harm in wearing the jewelry out that night. But as luck would have it, George's old partners take notice. Their rabid search for the remaining jewels puts Andrea in a dangerous position, chased by a band of relentless criminals. You'll never forget the thrilling story that follows. Any resemblance between this story and a real case in the city of Miami is pure coincidence.
