Bob Hill and his wife Betty are vacationing in Europe.

On a rainy day they are driving through Transylvania when Bob loses control of their rental car and wraps it around the trunk of a huge tree.

Bob is badly injured, but is conscious. He checks Betty and sees that she`s unconscious and bleeding from the head. Every bone in his body is aching, but Bob sees a light in the distance so he scoops Betty into his arms, carries her through the rain and ends up standing in front of a huge door.

Bob knocks. A small, hunched man opens the door and Bob says, "You`ve got to let me use your phone. We`ve been in an accident, and my wife has been terribly injured."

"I`m sorry," says the hunchback, "We don`t have a phone, but my master is a doctor; come in and I`ll get him!"

Soon an elegant looking man comes down a stairway and introduces himself. "I am not a medical doctor," he says, "but a scientist. It is many miles from here to the nearest doctor, but I do have some basic medical training, and will be happy to help if I can."

"Please," Bob pleaded. "Save my wife`s life."

With that, Bob collapses to the floor beside his wife and despite the efforts of the scientist and his assistant, both Bob and Betty die.

The scientist is shattered by his failure to help Bob and Betty and sits down at his grand piano to console himself with music. While his assistant prepares to move Bob and Betty`s bodies, the scientist plays, and the power and beauty of his talent fills the house. Suddenly, the assistant sees what looks like a small twitch of Betty`s hand then he looks over at Bob and Bob`s eyelids are fluttering!

Now Betty`s feet are moving and both of her eyes are opening! The assistant is beside himself with joy and runs to his master and says, "Master! Master! The Hills are alive with the sound of music"!
