Seven strangers are invited to a weekend house party on Soldier Island by the anonymous Mr or Mrs U.N. Owen, along with domestic staff Mr and Mrs Rogers and Vera Claythorne who has been offered a secretarial post. There is no host to greet them but Rogers is instructed to play a record, which names them all as being responsible for a death for which they were not caught and punished. There is the children's rhyme ending And Then There Were None in each room and ten miniature figures of soldiers on the dining room table. One of the guests is revealed to be an impostor but then another dies in the manner of the first little soldier and next day a second victim is claimed in the same way and two of the model soldiers have been removed.

Accusations fly amongst the eight survivors with ex-mercenary soldier Philip Lombard admitting his guilt to Vera and religious spinster Emily Brent making excuses for her accusation. A search party is organized to hunt the killer. Owen, in vain and former General MacArthur is despairing, seeming to lose his mind - and then his life. Two more murders follow, leaving only five little soldiers on the table and it is apparent that the killer is one of the five remaining guests. Written by don @ minifie-1

Tempers fray as night falls and Judge Wargrave explains the reason for his being brought to the island. Next day there is another soldier missing and hysteria and suspicion take hold, relieved by drunken partying. Soon there are only two guests left, each believing the other to be the serial killer - unless, of course, the real murderer is still alive. Either way when the boatman comes to collect the guests he will find that the rhyme has come true. Written by don @ minifie-1
