Background
Cathy "Cath" Beck is a resident of California. Her husband is Dr. John Beck and they have been married for almost one year.
During the events of The Bat People (1974) played by Marianne McAndrew
Dr. Beck has a nightmare where he is attacked by bats. The next day, Dr. Beck and Cathy drive to the desert for a picnic. They see a bat, which repulses Cathy. They go on a tour of a cave being given by a Park Ranger and as Cathy and Dr. Beck sneak away to have sex, Cathy slips and falls. Dr. Beck slides down to help her and hears a bat squeaking nearby. It flies into Cathy's hair and then attacks and bites Dr. Beck. The Park Ranger hears them yelling and saves them, but not before Cathy kicks the dead bat away. They go skiing and Dr. Beck has visions of bats chasing Cathy and attacking her. While they are sitting in the hot tub, Dr. Beck has a seizure and cuts his hand on his glass. He goes to see Dr. Kipling to have his hand bandaged and Dr. Kipling suggests he start getting rabies treatment as soon as he gets home. Cathy gets upset that neither Dr. Beck or Dr. Kipling are taking Dr. Beck's bite serious and they go to the hospital. Dr. Beck has an allergic reaction to the rabies vaccine and Dr. Kipling decides Dr. Beck has to stay in the hospital for observation. Later Cathy asks Dr. Kipling if Dr. Beck will have reactions to the rest of the shots, but he tells her not to worry.
Cathy comes to visit Dr. Beck and he asks her to get him a psychiatrist and that he wants to stay in the hospital. He changes his mind and at night, Dr. Beck wakes up screaming and Cathy reassures him it was just a dream. Sgt. Ward goes to their motel room and he questions Dr. Beck. While Cathy is visiting Dr. Beck he has another seizure and while Cathy goes to get help from the nurses, he starts to transform. He escapes from the hospital and steals an ambulance. Ward questions Cathy abut Dr. Beck's whereabouts the previous nights. Ward sees Cathy out walking at night and invites her into his car. He drops her off at the motel and asks her if Dr. Beck ever hit her. Ward then tries to rape Cathy until she yells at him to leave. Dr. Beck makes a recording of his last will and testament and describes the transformations he is going through. After Ward plays Cathy the recording, she goes back to the motel and finds Dr. Beck there. He tells her that the caves are his new home and they have sex. While they are having sex, Dr. Beck transforms and Cathy screams. The Motel Owner hears her and runs to her room. He opens the door and asks if she is okay and then tells her if she needs anything he will be in all night. As Ward and Cathy are driving back to town from the cave, a large group of bats start to follow them. The bats fly into the windshield and Ward accidentally drives off the road and gets stuck. Cathy gets out of the car and lets the bats in and they attack Ward and he shoots himself with his shotgun. Cathy then walks to the cave.
