Bilgi :Brandon and Philip are two young men who share a New York apartment. They consider themselves intellectually superior to their friend David Kentley and as a consequence decide to murder him. Together they strangle David with a rope and placing the body in an old chest, they proceed to hold a small party. The guests include Davids father, his fiancée Janet and their old schoolteacher Rupert from whom they mistakenly took their ideas. As Brandon becomes increasingly more daring, Rupert begins to suspect.Manhattan socialites Brandon Shaw and Phillip Morgan choke the life out of an associate, David, as an intellectual challenge to commit the perfect murder. Not content to escape the penalty of law by simply disposing of the body quietly, they furthermore devise an elaborate and dangerous display of arrogance: The two stuff Davids lifeless body into a chest and throw a dinner party serving their guests, literally, from the convenient tabletop of the young mans grave. In attendance are Mr. Henry Kentley and Mrs. Anita Atwater, the victims father and aunt; Kenneth Turner, the victims rival for the hand of Janet Walker, Davids fiancée, who also attends; Mrs. Wilson, the servant; and Rupert Cadell, the murderers former teacher whose flippant repartee regarding social caste festered into the pathological short circuit that led to Brandons and Phillips crime. Brandons sense of intellectual superiority swells to reckless levels throughout the evening as he makes a nail-biting game out of cleverly dropping his guests hints at nasty goings on. Meanwhile, Phillip grows increasingly frightful and guilt-ridden as Rupert inches ever closer to discovering why David hasnt yet arrived at the party.
