Marsha White [Francis] is looking for a gift for her mother.  The elevator operator suggests it can be found on the ninth floor and drops her off there.  Although the floor appears to be deserted a saleswoman appears and sells her just what she is looking for.

As she is leaving the store, White realizes the gift is scratched and goes to exchange it.  When explaining she bought the gift on the ninth floor, she is told that there is no ninth floor.  Things get even stranger when White sees the sales lady who sold her the gift.  The sales lady turns out to be a store mannequin.

White feels that if she can get back to the ninth floor the mystery will be revealed… and she is right.
