The friends of a penniless deceased clown must get creative in order to lay their friend to rest.

SYNOPSIS:

Shoes De Clown has been killed in a freak accident, and his friends discover that they may have to pay more than their respects due to his financial situation. Since they do not want to be on the hook, they find creative ways to cover the funeral services at the warehouse where his body is displayed. And each one of them participates in a non-traditional type of service as ragtime music plays in the background.

The clown’s friends then discover they have two more problems after the service at the warehouse. They lack transportation to get his body to the burial site, and the cost of the burial plot was only partially covered. His friends must get creative once again to solve both problems and to finally lay their friend to rest. The background music for the trip to the burial site and at the site is similar to a New Orleans Dixieland jazz style funeral beginning with a somber song and ending with an upbeat song when his friends leave the burial site.

This story will be a throwback to the old days of silent film comedy and an emphasis on visual comedy. There is no dialogue, and the sound track is limited to music and some sound effects.
