The one act play “The Death Trap” revolves around the conspiracy against the reigning prince of Kedaria, prince Dimitri, who turns the table on his assassins at the end of the play. Prince Dimitri, the young ruler of Kedaria, has rivalry with Prince Karl, who desired to capture the political power Kedaria by murdering the reigning prince. So, Dimitri’s enemies hatch a plan to assassin him and they are waiting for the right moment to execute it.
Three Military Regiments namely Andrieff Regiment, Lonyadi Regiment and Kranitzki Regiment guard the Prince Dimitri, the reigning Prince of Kedaria. Dr. Stronetz, a faithful physician, is also very loyal to the prince Demitri. The Kranitzki Regiment is being loyal to the enemy and the three officers of this Regiment, Colonel Girnitza, Major Vontieff and Captian Shultz are all set to murder Prince Dimitri as soon as the loyal Andrieff Regiment leaves from its duty. These officers of Kranitzki Regiment are disloyal to prince Dimitri but very loyal to Prince Karl, who is willing to kill prince Dimitri and want to become the king of Kedaria.
