SYNOPSIS:
“For the mere sake of adventure, danger, and the “fun of the thing,” Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak-minded friend, Charles Granillo, to assist him in the murder of a fellow undergraduate , a perfectly harmless man names 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 cheat with its gruesome contents serving as a supper table. The horror and tension are worked up gradually; thunder grows outside, will Brandon and Granillo confess to the murder in the end? Or will the truth be left with the decaying body in a wooden chest?”
