He may have photographed a murder. A young photographer named Herb just wanted to photograph the cheerleaders at a school shower. He planted his camera in a high corner where no one could see it, and rigged it to a special homemade timer. On Thursday, he hoped to have an exciting roll of film to develop. But a girl dies Friday afternoon, and when he finally collects his roll of film, he develops a picture that shows a shadowy figure sneaking up on the girl who has died with a baseball bat. It makes Herb wonder if the girl was dead long before the car accident. But unfortunately for Herb, he doesn’t wonder if the murderer knows he took the picture.
