While having dinner with Judy, Cindy overhears George, a classmate she barely recognizes who happens to be sitting at the next table, mention that he is going to Ouray, Colorado, to do some ice climbing over the winter break. After George leaves, Cindy starts laughing and mentions to Judy that George has a reputation as a complete klutz. Judy works as a receptionist for an insurance agent and she jokes that someone really ought to take out a policy on George right away since they could get rich. Cindy decides this is a good idea and calls Judy the next day and purchases a $100,000.00 life insurance policy on George. Georges ice climbing expedition goes off without a hitch but on the last day of his trip he decides to go skiing and is killed when he crashes into a snowmobile while careening down the mountain at breakneck pace and completely out of control. The snowmobile he hit had been left in the middle of the slope by a careless ski resort worker. Back at school, Cindy hears the news and immediately files a claim. The insurance company refuses to pay.
