Synopsis for "Dead Man's Diary"

Police obtain the diary of Conrad Crane. They begin to read the strange account of how a wealthy man named JB Dales received letters threatening to poison him. Dales hires Crane to act as a food taster to protect himself. Little does Dales suspect that it was actually Crane that wrote the threatening letters as a scheme to get revenge. Crane relates the story of how Dales had abandoned him and his father on a deserted island as a boy. The father died of starvation but Crane survived and is now bent on making Dales suffer a similar fate. The two men go on a trip to a mountain lodge where they spend time in a cabin. Crane uses explosives to create an Avalanche causing the two men to become stranded in the cabin. That evening Crane eats a piece of food and becomes ill and passes away. Dales is terrified that the food they have has been poisoned and he refuses to eat any of it for fear of suffering a similar fate. Police head to the cabin to rescue Dales but they arrive too late. Dales had starved to death surrounded by food which he thought was poisonous. It is then revealed that Crane had actually died from a fatal heart attack which he was expecting but he wanted to live long enough to enact his revenge.
