> Bob Hill and his new wife, Betty, were vacationing in Europe, as it
> happens, near Transylvania. They were driving in a rental car along a
> rather deserted highway. It was late, and raining very hard. Bob
> could barely see 10 feet in front of the car. suddenly the car skids
> out of control! Bob attempts to control the car, but to no avail!
> The car swerves and smashes into a tree.
>
> Moments later, Bob shakes his head to clear the fog. Dazed, he looks
> over at the passenger seat and sees his new wife unconscious, with
> her head bleeding! Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside, Bob
> knows he has to carry her to the nearest phone.
>
> Bob carefully picks his wife up and begins trudging down the road,
> After a short while, he sees a light. He heads towards the light, which
> is coming from an old, large house. He approaches the door and
> knocks.
>
> A minute passes. A small, hunched man opens the door. Bob
> immediately blurts, "Hello, my name is Bob Hill, and this is my wife
> Betty. We've been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been seriously
> hurt.
> Can I please use your phone??
>
> "I'm sorry," replied the hunchback, "but we don't have a phone. My
> master is a doctor; come in and I will get him."
>
> Bob brings his wife in. An elegant man comes down the stairs. "I'm
> afraid my assistant may have misled you. I am not a medical doctor;
> I am a scientist. However, it is many miles to the nearest clinic, and
> I have had a basic medical training. I will see what I can do. Igor,
> bring them down to the laboratory."
>
> With that, Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob
> following closely. Igor places Betty on a table in the lab. Bob
> collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries, so Igor places Bob on
> an adjoining table.
>
> After a brief examination, Igor's master looks worried. "things are
> serious, Igor. Prepare a transfusion." Igor and his master work
> feverishly, but to no avail. Bob and Betty Hill are no more.
>
> The Hills' deaths upset Igor's master greatly. Wearily, he climbs the
> steps to his conservatory, which houses his pipe organ. For it is here
> that he has always found solace. He begins to play, and a stirring,
> almost haunting, melody fills the house.
>
> Meanwhile, Igor is still in the lab tidying up. As the music fills the
> lab, his
> eyes catch movement, and he notices the fingers on Betty Hill's hand
> twitch. Stunned, he watches as Bob's arm begins to rise! He is furthur
> amazed as Betty sits straight up!
>
> Unable to contain himself, he dashes up the stairs to the conservatory.
> He bursts in and shouts to his master:
>
- > "Master, Master!.......The Hills are alive with the sound of music!"
