The premise

Here’s the bit.

A woman arrives in a motel room and starts changing clothes. When she notices a motionless figure across the way, she scrambles to cover the window, only to have the blinds and curtains thwart her. A sign identifying the mannequin business opposite finally reassures her. While a worker changes the display across the way, she resumes changing and relaxing, until a real peeper in the window sets off another frantic attempt to cover up.
