The Flashlight plot
Photographer Jack Lane goes to the mountains to try out his new camera, which is capable of automatically taking pictures of any wild animal that passes its lens. Something activates the mechanism while he is sleeping that night and a picture is taken. When Jack develops it, he sees a picture of a beautiful young girl running through the woods, carrying a gun. Jack investigates a nearby cabin where the owner, named Porter Brixton, has been murdered. Shortly after, the sheriff arrests Jack for the murder, because his footprints were found near the dead man's cabin. On his way to jail, Jack manages to escape. He steals a canoe and paddles down the river, pursued by a group of local townspeople who want to lynch him. The canoe capsizes and Jack drags himself to shore. When he wakes up the next morning, the girl from the photo is standing before him.
