Police Officer Scottie Ferguson developed a fear of heights after being frightened by a miss in a high building during a hunt. Although the physical injury was completely healed, the fear of heights seemed incurable, so he had to resign from the police station and become a private investigator. One day, Gavin Esther, Scottie’s former classmate, came to him and commissioned him to follow his wife Marlen as a private detective. Marlen seems to have a psychotic disorder, and her husband believes that she is wicked and is under the control of her deceased great-grandmother Charlotte Widez.
Scottie began to think the idea was ridiculous, but he still started to follow Marlen. Marlen looked at a portrait of his grandmother in the Palace of the Legion of Honor for several hours, went to the cemetery, and even attempted to commit suicide by diving. Scottie rescued her and took her to her home. He asked her what she had done in the past day, but Marlen herself was puzzled. After a while, Scotty unexpectedly met Marlen again. She thanked Scotty for saving her and apologized for her actions. Scotty became interested in the mysterious beauty of Marlen, and he invited Marlen to travel to San Francisco. In the Cedar Tree Nature Park, Marlen showed him a sawn tree stump, saying that it recorded her birth and death. Scottie comforted Marlen and freed her from the fear of death. They were closer together, and they confessed their love to each other.
Since then, their relationship has developed rapidly, and Marlen has become more frightened and melancholic. She told Scotty about her dreams and thoughts, and Scotty became more and more worried. Marlen said that in dreams of the tower, Spanish villages and white houses, Scotty led Marlen to the parish of San Juan, which is similar to his dream. Marron, who was eager to speak, left Scotty and quickly ran into a nearby clock tower. When Scotty rushed up, Marlen had fallen off the tower with a scream and fell to his death.
The court quickly concluded the investigation and believed that Marlen had died of a suicide after a mental breakdown. Since then, Scotty has been very decadent until he met Judy Button. The necklace that Marlen used to wear before appeared on Judy, finally making Scotty suspicious. In the middle of the night, he took Judy to the Spanish parish, where he exposed all the conspiracies
