SYNOPSIS

For the mere sake of adventure and danger, brilliant Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak minded friend, Charles Granillo, to assist him in the murder of a fellow undergraduate, a perfectly harmless man named Ronald Raglan. They place the body in a wooden chest, and to add spice to their handiwork, invite a few acquaintances, including the dead youth’s father, to a party, the chest with its gruesome contents serving as a supper table. One of the guests, the poet Rupert Cadell, has his suspicions. Will the young men get away with murder most foul?
