All Credit is Given to the brilliant writer of the play and book version of this story: Agatha Christie!
Lyrics:
"Ten Little Indians going out to dine;
One went and choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine Little Indian Boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight Little Indian Boys traveling to Devon;
One got left behind and then there were seven.
Seven Little Indian boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in half and then there were six.
Six Little Indian boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five Little Indian boys going in for law;
One got in chancery and then there were four.
Four Little Indian boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three Little Indian boys walking to the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two Little Indian boys playing with a gun;
One shot the other and then there was one.
One little Indian boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself
and then there were none."

Ten people are invited to an island resort area by the name of Indian Island, seven of them are guests, two of them are servants, and one is a secetary. The hosts, by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Owen, of the place can not be down until the next day. Once the guests arrive, there is no going back... There are ten little Indian statues on the mantle piece. When all guests arrive in the house and are settled, a voice comes over the intercom and blames ever one of the people of murder of a different person or group of people... suddenly, one by one, they are all being killed off like the rhyme above goes...

Characters:
In Order of What Their Death is in the Nursery Rhyme:
Ten- Anthony Marston: A handsome young American man. Spoiled, Rich, Show offish, Fast, Wild In Ways, Outgoing and he has a real nice car. Hits on Vera a ton. Likes to drink alcohol and party. He is accused of the murder of John and Lucy Combes, who he believes to be two kids he accidentally ran over with his car. He is killed when someone slips cyanide in his drink, which causes him to choke to death.
Nine- Mrs. Ethel Rogers: A maid in the household who was only hired a week ago. She has never met the owners of this house and she is the wife of Mr. Rogers. She is middle-aged, nervous, frightened, emotional, uptight, worried, she thinks everyone else has no class, and has a weak heart. She and her husband are blamed for the murder of Jennifer Brady. Her husband says that they were with Jennifer when she was dying and they cared for her and she left them her money when she died. She faints after the VOICE is heard and then dies later in the night from either an over dosage of sleeping drug or heart failure.
Eight- General MacKenzie: an old ex-general. He is polite and gently at first, but soon turns crazy when he mistakes Vera for his wife later in this rp. He is tough and has become a lonely old man. He carries around a gun and a shooting stick. He is blamed for sending his wife's lover, Arthur Richmond, to his death. He tells everyone that he just sent the man into battle because he was a good soldier and he just died. He later spills his gut to Vera that he did purposely send his wife's lover to his death for revenge and that he was jealous. He dies when he is left behind in the room and is stabbed in the back on accident by Lombard because there was a knife already in his back when Lombard went to pat him there.
Seven- Mr. Thomas Rogers: A butler in the household who was only hired a week ago. He has never met the owners of the house and he is the husband of Mrs. Rogers. He is middle-aged, laid back, relaxed, obedient, strong, competent, shifty, thinks that everyone has no class at all, and mysterious. When his wife dies suddenly, he becomes quieter and more fearful. He and his wife are blamed for the murder of Jennifer Brady. He says they were taking care of Jennifer before she died and she left all of her money to them. He is the one that turns on the record of the VOICE like he was told to do thinking that it was only music. He is killed when someone sneaks up on him and chops him into pieces with an axe.
Six- Emily Brent: an older, religious woman. She is uptight, strict, hates young people, very religious, hates any form of immodesty, never drinks alcohol, and goes on many rants. She is quite independent and she especially hates Anthony, Vera (for her flashy, tight clothing style and her ways), Lombard, and Blore. She quotes the bible and knits quite often. She is blamed for the death of Beatrice Taylor. She does not tell anyone until she is alone with Vera. She tells Vera that Beatrice used to work in her house and the girl tricked her into making her think that she was modest. But the girl got pregnant and Emily was disgusted. She made the girl feel so awful that she committed suicide. Emily is given a drink with a sleeping drug in it and a hypodermic needle is put into her neck. Once again, Lombard puts his hand in the wrong spot and the drug is put into her body and she dies.
Five- Sir Lawrence Wargrave: an older ex-judge, he is known for all the hanging warrants he has signed. He takes charge of the situation and asks all of the questions. He is blamed for the murder of Edward Seton, one of the people he sent to the gallows to hang. He is “killed” when shot in the head and he wears his judge suit on his death chair.
(PS: he does not really die yet… he tells Armstrong that he is going to fake his death to be able to watch the others to see who is doing all of this. Comes back in the end, but he is shot and killed for real then.)
Four- Dr. Armstrong: a doctor who specializes in the nerves. Could be a guy or a girl. He/she is mid-aged, good looking, tired, fussy, nervous, never drinks, easy to upset or frighten, shaky, and polite. He carries a medical case around with him everywhere. He/she dislikes Anthony for nearly driving he/she into a ditch on the way up. He/she is blamed for the murder of Louisa Mary Clees. He/she used to be a surgeon and they are always blamed for the death of their patients and he/she does not touch alcohol because he/she was slightly drunk during the surgery. He is pushed off the cliff and drowns. Everyone thinks he is still alive and is the cause of all of this until he is found dead.
Three- William Blore: he is a detective/ ex-cop and goes under the name of Davis, a rich man in the diamond business in Africa, when he first comes to the place. He is soon found out and tells the truth. He asks many questions and tries to figure out the situation and is quite the explorer. He is blamed for the death of James Stephen Lendor. James was a criminal and Blore sent him to prison where he died less than a year later. Blore is killed when he hears a boat horn and runs and a huge, bear shaped clock lands on him.
Two- Captain Philip Lombard: An ex-soldier and an adventurer. He is attractive, in his thirties, lean, strong, perfectly tanned, a flirt, smart, friendly, and polite. He hits on Vera a lot. He enjoys his alcohol and tries to serve everyone. Carries a hand gun. He lies about his past at first, saying that he is not from Africa when he really is. He befriends Marston. He is accused of causing the deaths of twenty-one members of the East African tribe. He tells everyone that he left those natives alone in the bush to save himself and they were killed. When it is only Vera and himself left, he starts to blame Vera for all of this and then threatens her. She gets scared and she shoots him. (He is not dead, but he looks and acts like he is.)
One- Vera Claythorne: a young, attractive woman. She is brought here to be the secretary of the household, but has never met the owner of the place. Marston and Lombard and Blore, at some point, hit on her and she is flattered by all of it. She does not die surprisingly and the one who caused all of this tells her everything. She is sensitive, emotional, flirtatious, drinks when she is worried, playful, but gets serious later on. She is easily frightened. She is blamed for the murder of Peter Ogilvie Hamilton. She tells them that she was his nurse and that he was forbidden to swim. But one day, she was not paying attention, and he swam out far. She dove after him, but it was too late. She later tell Lombard when they are alone that Peter was the nephew of Hugh who would have gotten all the money if Peter would have been a girl. She was Peter’s nurse and she loved Hugh. But when Hugh shoved Peter off the cliff and into the water and told him to swim out, Vera tried to save him, but the current was too strong. She did not turn Hugh in because she thought that she still had feeling for him… But in the end she falls in love with Lombard, the only two who remain.
