All roles are open to non-union actors only. In this Agatha Christie classic, eight guests who have never met each other or their apparently absent host and hostess are lured to Soldier Island off the coast of Devon and, along with the two house servants, marooned. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten "soldiers" met his death until there were none. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead, poisoned. One down and nine to go as statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel fall to the floor and break or disappear as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger one by one in accordance with the nursery rhyme.
