John Russell, a composer from New York City, is vacationing with his wife and daughter upstate when his car gets stuck in snow.

One night, he discovers all of the water taps turned on and sees the apparition of a drowned boy in a bathtub.

To ensure the inheritance, Richard replaced the dead boy with one procured from a local orphanage and spirited him away to Europe under the pretense of seeking treatment for his condition.
