The opening portion of the narrative introduces Dr. Stuart as he experiences a jumpy awakening in the middle of the night, haunted by a sense of unease and the presence of an unknown menace. Following his unsettling interactions, including a visit from a mysterious woman, the plot gradually reveals connections to a string of deaths linked to "The Scorpion."
