Marion Crane, played by Janet Leigh was a office worker who was trusted to 

bank $40,000 dollars for a client of hers. However she took advantage of her employees trust and ran off with the money in search of  new life. While 

Marion was making her escape she decided to stay at the Bates Motel, which 

was managed by a feeble, young man named Norman. A particular scene 

where Norman agreed to let Marion share a meal with himself and his mother

 but soon had to refuse his offer due to his mother not allowing this to happen 

suggests that she is very demanding and almost controls Normans life. Later 

that day while Marion was showering, Normals mother went to Marion's room uninvited and murdered her in the bath. This scene is one of Hollywoods most famous, due to the violence used. Norman unaware of what his mother had done, went to check up on his only customer. To his surprise he found her laying dead in the bathroom. Norman panicked, cleaned up all the mess his mother had created and discarded all evidence that had any relation to the murder. Some days later Marions family reported Marion missing, and got a detective to try and look for her. While the detective was investigating where Marion could have disappeared to, he also crossed the Bates Motel in search for Marion. He had a assumption that Marion may have stayed at the motel due to Normans "fishy" behavior when registering him into the Motel. He rang Marions family to explain the situation and that he would be staying at the motel over night.  While the detective was searching around he was also murdered by Normans psycho mother. Norman again found out about the murder and had to discard all evidence as well as hid his mother away. Meanwhile Marions family where waiting anxiously by the phone and decided to take matters into their own hands when not hearing a reply from the detective. Since they knew that the deceive had been at the Bates Motel, Marions sister- Lila and her boyfriend Sam went to the motel to investigate for themselves. While at the Motel, Lila was almost murdered by Normans mother, but was saved by her boyfriend Sam, who held Normans mother hostage until the police arrived at the scene. The police then arrested Normans mother. To everyones surprise Normans mother had actually been dead for some years, and it was Norman dressed as a woman who murders the people. The film ends with Norman being diagnosed as a schizophrenic and him being arrested in a mental institution.
