I'll
Die Laughing
One
by one the Keeper of the Book turns the pages of The Great Sealed Book
and stops at the strange story of three people who venture into a long
lost cavern that has been cursed by the ancient Aztecs. A tale called
"I’ll Die Laughing".
The story begins in a big old house, on
Mount Hill, San Francisco, home of wealthy industrialist John Batan and
his wife Laura. John has a visitor named Gimpy Gordon. Gimpy is a
prospector and he has brought John a map that shows the way to a secret
cave called the Devil’s Cavern. The cave is reputed to contain a lost
Aztec treasure, but the treasure is protected by a curse—anybody who
enters the cavern is doomed to die.
John is very interested in
what Gimpy has to say. He gives little credence to the curse, but the
treasure is a different matter and he decides to go and investigate The
Devil’s Canyon, taking his wife with him, and his financial advisor
Harvey.
John is not aware, however, that Gimpy had originally
approached Harvey, and it was Harvey who sent the old prospector to see
him. Harvey considered the story to be nothing more than a tall tale,
but he knew full well that John would want to go to the Devil’s Canyon
and look for the treasure. Harvey is having an affair with Laura, and
he knows that if John ever finds out about it they will both be left
with nothing, so he plans to make sure that John never returns from his
treasure hunting trip. Needless to say, the last laugh is on the guilty
pair.
But what of the Aztec treasure? That’s a good question. Just press play to find out.
