Survivors Cast

Tensions at the fledgling community are mounting, and the constant bickering is a cause of great concern to Abby and Greg. After Pryce fails to lock the pigs up securely, allowing the animals to get lose and eat the community's crop of cabbages, Abby decides to boost everyone's morale by suggesting that they hold a party to celebrate Mayday, the coming of Spring. Everyone enjoys themselves during the festivities, dancing, singing and having fun. However, Pryce gets drunk, introduces Barney to whisky, and then forces himself on Wendy after she leaves for bed - accidentally killing her when she refuses his attentions. When her body is discovered the next morning, the community mistakenly believe that the simple-minded Barney is to blame; he is 'tried' and convicted by the others, who are then faced with the decision on how to punish him. They decide that this new world calls for a tough stand on such crimes, and so take a vote on whether to banish him or to use capital punishment. The majority chooses execution; Greg draws the short straw and takes Barney out to the woods and shoots him. But then the identity of the real murderer is discovered...
