Synopsis:
A woman's car breaks down in an area where women have been strangled and since she is frightened she tries to take shelter in a nearby house. The person behind the door is bundled up like an old woman and tells her that she doesn't want to open the door, but the young lady pleads, and she relents. When the woman gets a look at the bundled person's arm, she sees that he is a man, and assumes he is the strangler. She screams, and another man breaks in the door, but the new man on the scene is actually the stranger. The bundled person tosses aside his disguise and kills the strangler, apologizes to the woman for frightening her, and explains that the strangler had murdered his wife and so he had disguised himself as bait.
