The play opens with Eldon Phelps and Gina Yaweth at a bar in Leadville (pronounced led-vil). Gina convinces Eldon to star in her new reality television show, ''The Dead Guy''. The premise of the show: Eldon is given a week and a million dollars to spend however he wishes, but there is one catch—at the end of the week, Eldon must commit suicide in a manner determined by millions of online and telephone voters. He gives gifts to his mother Roberta and brother Virgil, and then proposes to ex-girlfriend Christy Moline, who denies his request, saying, "You think I want to become a widow at twenty-one?" Angry, he goes to Disneyland, where he picks up prostitutes, gets drunk, and is finally kicked out of the park. He then realizes that the nation's voters want him to die by chainsaw accident. Fearing this, he tries to find a charity to take his money. However, no charities want his blood money. He tries to volunteer at a children's hospital, but creates more problems than he solves. His voters soon begin to cut him more slack. He remains friends with Christy, and the voters begin to love him as his end date draws nearer. Finally, on the evening of his death, the write-in vote surprises both him and Gina. The voters want Gina to kill him. Gina shoots him dead. The play ends, as Gina promises that the audience will "more dead guys".
