The narrator had cut up the old man's body and hidden it under the floorboard of the parlor. Three policemen come to the house because there were reports of screams in the area just to do a routine check. The narrator invites them in and while talking with them he thinks he hears the old man's heart beating and believes the policemen also hear it. Since he cannot stand the guilt in his conscience caused by the beating heart and since he believes the police know about the body anyway, he confesses his crime to them.
In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator gets caught because he becomes overwhelmed with guilt and confesses to the police officers that he murdered the old man. The sound of the old man's heart beating beneath the floorboards also contributes to his unraveling mental state, prompting him to admit to the crime.
Other than the title, The Telltale Head being a play on The Telltale Heart the similarities lie in The Telltale Heart having the narrator, who is presumably the murderer, being haunted by the sound of the victim's beating heart. Bart, who is also the narrator of The Telltale Head briefly, is haunted by the voice of Jebidiah Springfield.
