Synopsis
Set in London in 1929. Two young university students, Wyndham Brandon and Charles Granillo have murdered fellow student Ronald Kentley as an expression of their supposed intellectual superiority. With Kentley’s body still warm, they proceed to host a party for his friends and family atop the locked chest in which his corpse is hidden. Through the night speculation arises among the guests as to the contents of the chest. The evening increases in tension as Rupert, a former house master of Brandon and Granillo, becomes suspicious as to the whereabouts of young Ronald Kentley and the reason for the strange dining arrangement.
