The main plot point of this story is about hunting. There's this guy, Rainsford who falls off a boat on the way to the amazon to hunt jaguars and finds an island. On the island, there's General Zaroff, from somewhere in Russia.
He really really likes hunting. Not as a hobby, a lifestyle. He has hunted every possible game there is. But he started getting bored. So then he goes and decided to start his own game reserve off the coast of south america. Rainsford washes up on the island, but he's a hunter too. So the general and discuss hunting over dinner.
When Zaroff finally reveals what the game is, Rainsford is appalled. Zaroff is capturing humans off ships that stop at the island and releasing them into a secure jungle. He gives them three days until the game is over. Within the three days, if he kills them, Zaroff wins, but if they survive, they get to go home freely. Zaroff has never lost. And now since Rainsford called him a murderer, he's going to be hunted by General Crazy-Pants!
I recommend the short story if you're really curious to see what happens to Rainsford, but if not, too bad cause I'm not telling!
