A hotel suite that, in this instance, serves as a den of crime, the aftermath of a rather minor event to be noted on a police blotter, an insurance claim, perhaps a three-inch box on page twelve of the evening paper.
It happens to be a fact that the pictures that it takes can only be developed in The Twilight Zone.Two thieves, husband and wife Chester and Paula Diedrich, have just robbed an antique shop and returned to the hotel suite they are using as a hideout.
After she finds one inside a stolen chest and puts it on, the pair realize that the camera's pictures show the immediate future of its subjects.
After winning thousands of dollars, they celebrate in their suite, where a waiter named Pierre takes notice of their camera and translates its French inscription "dix à la propriétaire" as "ten to an owner".
But for the greedy, the avaricious, the fleet of foot, who can run a four-minute mile so long as they're chasing a fast buck, it makes believe that it's an ally, but it isn't at all.
