Synopsis
Incident at San Bajo
Published by Samuel French Inc
3 Male 4 Female
A stranger tried to sell each of them a mysterious elixir which he claimed would make them live longer
Most, of course, did not buy the elixir - and they are now dead, the water supply having been poisoned by the stranger
Only seven are left to tell the tale - the seven who drank the elixir which, it turned out, was an antidote!
Each of their stories is told in a series of interlocking monologues directed at an unseen interviewer
The effect is somewhat like a "60 Minutes" segment
