Synopsis

Two gentlemen from the city went to a forest in the mountains to hunt. Dressed like British hunters, they had as companions two large white dogs. However, after a day of hunting, they have failed to capture any game. Deep in the mountains, they are separated from their guide, and the forest begins to take on a sinister air. Their dogs howl, then foam at the mouth and fall dead. The two gentlemen discuss their monetary losses, then decide to return home. Finding themselves hungry, they soon spot an elegant Western-style building with the sign “Restaurant Wildcat House” hung across the entrance. Despite the bizarre emergence of this fine restaurant deep in the mountains, the two are so hungry that they decide to enter the restaurant. There, they find glass door with peculiar orders: “Please come in. No reservations necessary.” [2]
