The events I'm
about to relate
:01:26
began a fortnight ago.
:01:28
In a grim old house
:01:29
perched high on a cliff
:01:30
on the west coast
of Scotland.
:01:32
This singular
structure is known as
:01:34
Driercliff House.
:01:37
Gathered there for dinner
:01:39
were the seven members
:01:41
of a most
extraordinary club
:01:44
called the Good Comrades.
:01:47
Into this unique gathering
:01:49

:01:52
Mrs. Monteith
:01:54
bearing a message
:01:56
for Ralph King,
:01:57
a retired barrister.
:02:02
King received it casually.
:02:11
When they saw
the contents,
:02:14
the Good Comrades took
the whole thing as a joke
:02:19
but their
housekeeper was right,
:02:22
it was no laughing matter.
:02:26
For on the
following night...
:02:38
Ralph King died horribly
:02:43
but this was only
the beginning.
:02:48
A few nights later
:02:51
as the Good
Comrades gathered
:02:54
to drink a final toast
:02:56
to their departed member...
