Q
What does the shadow have to do with the story?
A
The shadow refers to a shadow that Susan sees after she is awakened by a gunshot and finds that her stepmother has been murdered. However, Susan has amnesia following the incident and doesn't remember anything about the murder. David (Zachary Scott), Susan's father, is eventually charged with the murder, and Susan begins to regain her memory. All she can remember of the shadow is that it had a feather on its head, and so she thinks it might have been an Indian.
