A corrupt king allows an epidemic to decimate his kingdom while he parties with his aristocrat pals. Anyone who complains gets his head chopped off, and soon heads roll freely in the deserted streets like tumbleweeds of terror. Only the Red Death himself, embodiment of the plague, can depose the king and save the land. Unfortunately, after the Red Death kills the king and all his aristocrats, he polishes off the remaining population for good measure, and "darkness and death ruled forever... The End."
