Mannix is jogging on a beach near an isolated point of land overlooked by a large house when he witnesses a woman being dragged inside the house by two rough-looking characters. He has a neighbor call the police, and when the sheriff's deputy arrives, Mannix describes the two men and the woman he saw being attacked. He is startled, however, when the deputy tells him that his description of the crime and of the three participants perfectly matches the murder of a woman in that house - except that it happened a year before.
