Sanger Rainsford Timeline and Summary

Fights in World War I, where he digs trenches. Good times…
Rainsford is merrily sailing to Rio to kill himself some Amazonian jaguars, when he falls overboard while trying to save his pipe.
Dude, just let it go; it'll kill you anyway.
He swims off to “Ship Trap” island, where he meets Zaroff, a sinister hunter who has strange ideas of a good time.
Rainsford does some fine dining with Zaroff, but then finds out he is about to be prey to this aristocratic whack job.
Through quick thinking, instinct, and the experience he gained during his comparatively rosy time digging trenches in World War I, he manages to elude Zaroff.
Rainsford gets back to the castle for a quick goodbye in the form of murder and then climbs into Zaroff's bed for a good night's sleep.
