Description: It's the veteran scout "Wake" Wakefield who finds the kid on a farm in Minnesota, practicing in a shed out back. It's the famous P. T. Sunnyside who takes a shine to the boy and determines that great things are in store for him. But ultimately, it's up to Andy Archway himself to break the single-season embalming record (1,769, set by Janus P. Mordecai in 1942). He is, after all, a whiz with a trocar: a natural.
