I GARDEN, EXT. DAYLIGHT
Some gun shots echo in the air. There is a young woman lying in the ground and the police arrive.

II LIVING ROOM, INT. DAYLIGHT
The mother hears shots.

III GARDEN SWING, EXT. DAYLIGHT
Three sexy young women are enjoying a day out and sitting on a swing. They are all similarly dressed in sexy white gowns that show a large portion of their breasts. Women start to approach the viewer. Smoke.

IV HEAVEN, INT. NIGHT
A big hall full scifi-bred instruments. In the centre of room, there is a heavy transparent glass chamber. Maybe two meters high. The dead woman, now alive and naked, is flowing inside the chamber. The water surrounding her seems to be boiling. A clan of black-cled bald monks are making circles around the chamber, that resembles a gigantic test tube. We dolly through the hall.

V LIVING ROOM, INT. DAYLIGHT
The mother and the dad sit on the living room sofa, when the door bell rings and the two policemen enter.

2nd description by Methew Hartman:

The film opens with the police finding the dead girl (set one).
There is a long blackout (during which the camera quickly tracks to the fourth set) to a shot of the worried mother.

Another long blackout (during which the camera is tracked back to the second set), until we see the three women rise from the swing and begin to move screen right, the camera tracking them as they move.

Then....SMOKE!....and lots of it to mask the transition to the third set to film the girl (probably a different actress than the one discovered in the first scene) in the water tank. The camera continues to track right to a piece of flash paper held in front of the fourth set, which is then lit to reveal the final scene of the police notifying the parents of the death.

3rd description:

"Premonitions Following an Evil Deed" opens with a wide shot of a corpse on a field, lying on its side facing us. Three male police officers approach the corpse stolidly.
fade to black
Refocus into three women sitting in a spring field one rises off what appears to be a hammock with a distressed look on her face.
fade to black
Then a powerful flame followed by an upward shooting pall of smoke introduce the scene of three "man in the planet looking from eraserhead guys" beating a big water filled bin with clubs. In the transparent bin is a convulsant nude woman.
fade to black
A pall of smoke introduces the next scene of a woman in an apartment looking to her side with a blank face.
Next shot is of a doorbell ringing and a couple answer the door holding hands. A police officer enters the apartment, takes off his lil blue cap, and apparently begins to tell them of the death of someone, apparently the corpse in the field. the couple hold hands tightly and shiver.
fade to black
