Synopsis for "Winner Take All"
Two men break into a house while outside the water continues to rise from the downpour. Enough water gathers in the basement that one of the men decides to drown the other in order to keep the money they found upstairs. The rotted floor gives way, and the bed containing the corpse of a man that has been gnawed away by rats falls through and breaks the guy's leg so he can't move. The rats that had been gnawing on the corpse now descend upon him.
