DescriptionThe sisters start their venture. Cyril is sharing a beautiful moment with her ex-fiancé. Suddenly, he holds up a bloody stump, screaming. It was a nightmare. On the way to their shift at the factory, Prunella tries to convince Cyril to go into grave robbing with her. Cyril declines, wanting to give blue collar work a try. We see the sisters enduring hard labour. They return home, exhausted. Prunella brings up graverobbing again and they argue. The next day, they are at work and not talking to one another. There’s a commotion and Prunella is almost sucked into a machine. Shaken, Cyril realizes she almost lost her sister. She agrees to grave robbing, offering her fiancé’s pickled hand to finance the equipment. The sisters are officially in business! goes here

The sisters encounter rival graverobbers. The sisters are on the hunt for their very first body. But locating a suitable corpse is proving difficult. Every lead is either too decomposed, diseased or destroyed. After a few false starts, including mistaking a pet cemetery for a human one, they think they’ve found the perfect mark. But before they can break ground, Borke & Hurre swoop in. The sisters put up a brave fight but are overpowered. This is actually a good thing, since the moment their rivals step foot on the gravesite they are shot! Turns out the grave is boobytrapped. The sisters flee before the commotion draws attention. The night ends and all they have to show for their efforts is a mummified cat. But at least the local taxidermist trades them a teapot for it.

The sisters must hide a body in plain sight. Cyril and Prunella finally score a corpse! But their buyer at the medical school has stepped out. They’ll have to hold onto it for 24 hours. This proves tricky, since their shift at the factory is starting soon. They have no choice but to disguise it in plain sight, Weekend at Bernie’s style. They throw a dress over the man’s body and go to work. The sisters claim the corpse is a new worker, and tie his arm to a lever and take turns pulling a rope. It works, until its leg gets ripped off. This gets everyone’s attention, but instead of the truth coming to light, Percy makes the corpse employee of the month for soldiering on. The shift ends and the sisters rush to the school. They make the exchange, but for less since it’s missing a limb.

The sisters find terror in the sewers and make a new friend. Prunella learns of the vast sewer system underneath London from the Trollops, and wants to test out a route, thinking it’s a good way to get around undetected. A reluctant Cyril joins her and Eliza, and on the way to a tunnel entrance, they are solicited by a child beggar. They shoo him away. Once underground, they make their way through the dank tunnels, navigating disgusting obstacles. All at once they are surrounded by pale, sickly children. It’s The Orphans! They give chase and corner the trio. But before they are swarmed, the beggar from earlier appears and scares off the hoard! He introduces himself as Alfie. Grateful, the sisters offer him an apprenticeship, which he eagerly accepts.

The sisters struggle to find housing. After a long night of work, the sisters and Eliza return home to find their hovel has collapsed! The landlord has no plans to fix it and somehow wants more money. They have no choice but to move. Thus begins an epic apartment hunt. Cyril and Prunella explore all manner of dwelling, from overcrowded rooming houses, to renting a coffin, to paying a penny to lean over a rope. Both the Trollops and Alfie each offer to share their own places, but neither work out, for very different reasons. Finally, exhausted and demoralized, the sisters head to the graveyard to collapse in a hole. It’s there they discover a necropolis hidden under ivy, forgotten by time and graveyard staff. They have finally found a home!

The sisters encounter a supernatural foe. Late one night, Cyril, Prunella and Eliza are attacked by a crazed entity. It slashes at them with long claws and shoots blue flames. They narrowly escape, losing the body they were transporting. The next day, they are at the factory where everyone is talking about sightings of Spring Heeled Jack, the sisters realize this is the psycho from last night. Percy declares he will capture the beast. That evening, the sisters are travelling by tunnel, when they come across a commotion aboveground-Percy and his hunting party dressed in drag (to lure the pervert) are battling Spring Heeled Jack! Their boss spots them and demands they help. They oblige, but Prunella discreetly sabotages things, since Jack knows what they’re up to and she can’t risk him telling on them once captured. He gets away, much to Percy’s disappointment. A few nights later the sisters find a body on their doorstep, wrapped like a gift with a letter of “thanks”. They have made an unconventional ally.
