A married couple moving into their dream home are threatened by terrifying letters from a stalker, signed – “The Watcher.”
Thick smoke fills the air as a group of fire-fighters prepare for a rescue attempt. One of them, standing on a ladder, helps a young girl down to the ground in safety. A young boy comes next. The fire-fighter then climbs higher up the ladder to see if anyone else needs help.
In the background is a house. In the foreground, a groom holds the reins of a sleek black horse that stands in profile. A tall man, dressed in a black uniform, demonstrates how to mount the horse then encourages and tries to assist a man in white.

The little groom laughs to see such sport. And finally, the man in white finds a comic accommodation. The story, though brief, has a beginning, middle, and end.
