Một cô gái ở tuổi vị thành niên của mình cho một gia đình giàu có một đêm. Gia đình giàu có có một ngôi nhà rất lớn với nhiều phòng. Nó được làm đầy với rất nhiều đồ tạo tác và đồ trang trí cũ từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Khi cha mẹ rời đi để đi ra ngoài, người cha nói với cô gái rằng một khi cô đặt những đứa trẻ xuống, cô phải đi xuống tầng hầm, xem TV ở đó, và không đi lang thang quanh nhà.
Khi những đứa trẻ đang ngủ, cô gái nghỉ hưu trong phòng tầng hầm để xem TV. Tuy nhiên, cô không thể tập trung vào chương trình của mình bởi vì trong góc phòng là một bức tượng chú hề kích cỡ cuộc sống cười toe toét với cô. Cuối cùng cô quyết định treo chăn lên bức tượng để cô có thể bỏ qua nó. Sau một lúc, cô không thể đứng nhìn vào đôi chân quá lớn của bức tượng chú nhô ra từ dưới tấm chăn. Cô quyết định gọi cho người cha và yêu cầu sự cho phép của mình để xem TV trong một căn phòng khác, bởi vì cô bị bối rối bởi bức tượng chú hề khổng lồ trong phòng tầng hầm.
“Nghe rất cẩn thận,” người đàn ông nói với cô gái.
“Các con của chúng tôi đã phàn nàn về một chú hề đi vào phòng của họ vào giữa đêm. Chúng tôi chỉ nghĩ đó là những cơn ác mộng. Chúng tôi không sở hữu một bức tượng chú hề. Bạn cần phải có được những đứa trẻ và nhận ra khỏi nhà NGAY BÂY GIỜ! Tôi sẽ gọi cảnh sát."
Cô gái treo điện thoại lên, quay lại nhìn bức tượng chú hề phủ đầy, nhưng tất cả đều có một tấm chăn trên sàn nhà! Cô nghe thấy tiếng bước xuống cầu thang tầng hầm.
