- Desperate for attention, particularly from the prom king, Susan Harper fabricates a crime. As the requests from the police and press feed her craving, she adds details-never suspecting those details could become a problem.
- Susan Harper is an unhappy high-schooler who falsely reports an attack in the park in order to get attention and make herself more important than she is. The press get hold of the story and Susan is more than happy to oblige with an ever-expanding tale. When the press seem to be losing interest, Susan goes to extraordinary lengths to keep the "park prowler" story alive, with tragic results.—garykmcd / edited by Rob
- Susan, a teenager in High School (played by pretty brunette Susan Harrison) daydreams of being handsome Tom's girlfriend, but he is only interested in his beautiful steady, Marjorie (played by the blonde, blue-eyed beauty Marta Kristen later of "Lost in Space"). So Susan concocts a drama to get herself attention. She claims a white gloved man grabbed at her throat in the park, but she got away. That garners her attention from news and police, and also sympathy from Marjorie and Tom, and others; but Tom still only has eyes for Marjorie. Marjorie even invites Susan over to her home. Susan decides to step up the drama decidedly. We can't imagine how much, even when we see her sneak out of her home with white gloves. Spoilers!!! At Marjorie's, Susan calls Marjorie out by the garage, out of site. As Marjorie innocently calls for Susan, you see white gloved hands grab Marjorie by the throat from behind. Marjorie's strangling makes the news, and eliminates Susan's rival for Tom. Susan is now more important than ever she thinks to herself, as we hear her thoughts. She goes to the Park to gloat over her victory, thinking she's going to have Tom for her boyfriend, and certainly safe from the murderous white gloved strangler she concocted. At "The Gloating Place" we see a dark figure loom up behind her and grab her throat with white gloved hands. Fade to black. The news awakened another psycho. The story was reused in 1986 with similar results, more pretty young women victims and an added big twist.
