Tales from the Crypt - 05x11 Oil's Well That Ends Well

Summary: A con artist and his girlfriend plan their next caper by tricking some southern boys into thinking there is oil underneath a cemetery. The con woman pretends to murder the conman in front of the group of men who fronted the money, and he is buried in the graveyard. But when she goes to dig him up, she finds that she has been tricked and the conman is in with the townsfolk. While standing in the freshly dug grave, the woman finds that she really has struck oil, and her cigarette causes them all to go up in flames.

TRIVIA

This is the only episode where John Kassir, the voice of the Crypt Keeper, actually appears on screen as an actor. The Crypt Keeper is shown watching this episode on VHS during the closing sequence where he usually sums up the story. He rewinds it to a scene with John Kassir and starts praising him. He says that "this actor" was as good as Gary Cooper (I) or Robert Redford (I) and that his voice reminds him of someone he knows.
The title is a parody on the play All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare (I).
