EPISODE ONE THE SETTING THE first episode takes place in the high-beamed hunt-room of the Turner homestead, a room that has been the scene of strange and mysterious crimes. The twelve guests, practically strangers to one another, who have just finished dinner, are sitting about the candle-lit table in the deep-cushioned leather chairs that the first Turner had brought with his bride from Spain a hundred years ago. Hari Singh, the Indian servant, has cleared the table. Mary Williams, pretty and curious, is asking questions of a man whom fate has thrown across her path for the second time.
