Young Marion works hard and is trusted by his boss. Her boyfriend, who runs a hardware store, is unable to remarry because he has to pay off his deceased father's debts and pay alimony for his ex-wife, so he can only take the opportunity of a business trip to occasionally have a tryst with Marion.
Unhappy with this, Marion took the opportunity to abscond in a car with $40,000** on Friday afternoon. She paid $700 for her old car and continued to drive nervously.
After nightfall, it rained heavily and his vision was blurred, so Marion had to park his car in the Bates Motel on the side of the road.
Norman, the innkeeper, was very friendly and tried to invite Marion to his home for dinner, but was rudely stopped by his vicious mother and had to bring dinner to the hotel living room.
Marion talks to Norman while eating in the living room, and after the meal, Marion goes back to his room to shower. At this time, the figure of an old woman suddenly appeared in the bathroom and brutally killed Marion.
The film "Psycho" is one of Hitchcock's most skillful works, especially the scene where Norman dresses up as his mother and approaches Marion with a sharp knife through a shower curtain.
