    Three gluttonous friends discover that one of their friends has died while looking for treasure.  They decide to find the treasure in their friend's memory.  They find the treasure, but greed takes hold of them, and each plots to kill the others.  So, two of them gang up on the other, and kill him, but then they are killed by poison that the dead man had mixed into their drinks before he was killed.
