Bob & Betty Hill were holidaying in Europe, near Transylvania. They were driving along a deserted highway. It was late and raining very hard. Bob could barely see the road in front. Suddenly the car skids! Bob attempts to gain control, but to no avail! The car swerves and smashes into a tree.
Bob shakes his head to clear the fog.
Dazed, he looks over and sees his wife unconscious, with her head bleeding!
Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside, Bob knows he has to get her medical assistance. He carefully picks his wife up and begins trudging down the road.
After a while, he sees a light coming from a large, old house. He approaches the door and knocks.
A small, hunched man opens the door. Bob immediately blurts out, "My name is Bob Hill, and this is my wife Betty. We've been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been seriously hurt. Can I please use your phone?"
"I'm sorry," replied the hunchback, "but we don't have a phone. My master is a doctor; come in and I will get him!"
When inside, an older man comes down the stairs. "I'm afraid my assistant has misled you. I am not a medical doctor; I am a scientist. However, we are miles from the nearest clinic, I have had basic medical training, I will see what I can do. Igor, show them down to the laboratory."
Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob following. Igor places Betty on a table in the lab. Bob collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries, so Igor places Bob on an adjoining table.
After his examination, Igor's master looks worried.
"Things are serious, Igor.. Prepare a transfusion."
Igor and his master work feverishly, but to no avail.
Bob and Betty Hill are no more.
The Hills' deaths upset Igor's master greatly. Wearily, he goes into his conservatory which houses his grand piano. It is here he has always found solace.. He begins to play, and a stirring, almost haunting melody fills the house..
Igor is still in the lab and his eyes catch movement. He notices the fingers on Betty's hand twitch, keeping time to the haunting music. Stunned, he watches as Bob's arm begins to rise, marking the beat! He is further amazed when Betty and Bob both sit up straight!
Unable to contain himself, he dashes up the stairs to the conservatory.
He bursts in and shouts: "Master, Master! .....
(wait for it !)
... the Hills are alive with the sound of music!"
