Marion Crane, een simpele vrouw met weinig geld, wordt door haar baas gevraagd om een grote hoeveelheid dollars weg te brengen. In een vlaag van wanhoop besluit ze het geld toe te eigenen en vervolgens slaat ze op de vlucht. Onderweg komt ze in een hevige storm terecht en moet ze noodgedwongen overnachten in het Bates Motel. Daar ontmoet ze de mysterieuze, jonge eigenaar Norman Bates die er vreemde praktijken op na lijkt te houden.
In a spur of the moment decision, Marion Crane decides to leave Phoenix with the $40,000 her boss entrusted to her to deposit at the bank. She's headed to her boyfriend Sam in Fairvale, California and the money will finally let them start their life together. After having spent a night in her car, she can't quite make all the way and spends her second night at the Bates Motel. There she meets Norman Bates, a shy and withdrawn young man who seems to be dominated by his mother. They chat for a while and as a result she decides to go back to Phoenix and return the money. She's still going to spend the night at the motel and decides to have a shower before going to bed. A week later Marion's sister arrives at Sam's store in Fairvale to tell him Marion has disappeared. Together with a private detective, Milton Arbogast, they begin searching the area and eventually come across the Bates Motel.
When larcenous real estate clerk Marion Crane goes on the lam with a wad of cash and hopes of starting a new life, she ends up at the notorious Bates Motel, where manager Norman Bates cares for his housebound mother. The place seems quirky, but fine… until Marion decides to take a shower.
