Set on the first floor of a house in Mayfair, London in 1929, ‘Rope’ concerns two young university students, Wyndham Brandon and Charles Granillo.
Having murdered fellow student Ronald Kentley as an expression of their supposed intellectual superiority, they stuff his body into a chest.
They proceed to host a party for his friends and family at which the chest containing his corpse is used to serve a buffet.
