The relationship (or property) is not “story_by,” it is 
“/film/film/story_by.”  A shorthand is allowed when the type is known, 
but the full form is always OK.

How did you find that the property is “story_by”?  Anywhere you found 
that, you should also have been able to find the full form.

A property is an object in Freebase, just like everything else.  The 
Property type has properties, and instances of Property (like story_by) 
have property values themselves.  In this case, what you are looking for 
is the Expected Type property, which tells you what kind of thing should 
be found at the other end.
