Escape by Death
"Escape
by Death" is the story of two rich, old ladies, Martha and Louise
Abbot, who both have mobility problems. Martha can only hobble a little
distance and Louise is confined to a wheelchair, so they have been
living with their nephew and his wife.
Their nephew Roger
appears to be very caring towards them, as does his wife Hester, but
Martha and Louise have become unhappy and wish to return to their house
in the village. Roger will not hear of the idea though, and he is most
insistent that they should stay with him.
Soon after their
conversation with Roger the old ladies discover that their house is up
for sale. Then when one of their cats drops dead after eating the meat
from Martha’s plate, they become convinced that Roger and Hester
are trying to kill them so that they can get their inheritance a little
sooner.
"Escape by Death" is not one of the most exciting
shows available on this site, but, all in all, there are worse ways to
kill half an hour, and there are one or two twists to the tale that
should make the experience a little more worthwhile.
