Plot[]
A dwarf named Ramon dates an abusive lover named Doris who wants him to make money. Ramon tries to practice for a musical stand-up comedy act, but he is not funny. After testing his hackneyed jokes numerous times in front of Doris, she finally gets fed up and hits him in the face with her purse, causing his harmonica to go down his throat and choke him to death while Doris laughs, thinking his choking is part of the act. Before she finally realizes he's actually choking, it's too late. Ramon fell to the floor and died. At least he got a one-way ticket straight to heaven, and now Doris will be tormented by the fact that she had accidentally caused someone's death and never get her punshiment, thus, making her an Karma Houdini.
