Synopsis for "A Night To Remember"

Death agrees to search for the insane woman's heart so Mad Hettie releases Sexton into Death's care. Death and Sexton go to a party where a punk kid sent by a blind old man to retrieve Death locates them. The punk kid brings Death and Sexton to a room occupied by the blind old man. The kid takes Death's Ankh from her and refuses the old man when he demands that he turn it over to him. The old man slams the kid's head against the wall, takes the Ankh, and locks the door to the room behind him. The punk dies as Death apologizes to Sexton for involving him in the situation.
