A wealthy young woman who felt guilty about her wealth and attempted to make amends by joining ecological extremist groups such as the Organization for Ecological Sanity, Debbi Domaine found herself summoned to the deathbed of her egocentric and reclusive aunt, Priscilla Rich. But before the dying old woman could reveal her deepest secret to Debbi, Priscilla Rich breathed her last. Recoiling from the sight of the dead woman, Debbi staggered back against a closet and was knocked unconscious by a mannequin that fell from within, a mannequin clad in a bizarre cat-like costume. In the last instants before darkness overcame her, Debbi saw a weird figure in a reptilian costume enter the room.
