Two women think they're smuggling steaks across the international border. But it's All Hallow's Eve, and anything goes. Read the full description.

Hal0702_small When you live along an international border, the temptation to smuggle a small item or two (Cuban cigars, illicitly caught fish) across can be quite strong. When two women are asked to smuggle a box of steaks across, they readily agree. But the night is Halloween, and when the ?steaks? end up eating a customs guard, there appears to be no way out in this comedy sketch from the Icebox of the Nation. Recorded before a live audience.
