Synopsis

A wife convinces her clumsy scientist husband to freeze her body thus putting her in suspended animation for 7 years. After she's declared legally dead, he will thaw her out and they can cash in on her insurance. Unfortunatly his clumsiness causes her frozen body to shatter to pieces when he knocks into her. When he thaws her out, he has to piece her body back together making her into a horrid jigsaw-like monstrosity.
