Film Synopsis
When she is dismissed by her employer, serving girl Abigail takes her revenge by indulging in witchcraft. Arrested, she claims she is a victim. A court is convened in the town of Salem not to try Abigail but the people whom she claims to have exerted an evil influence over her. Anyone that she and her cohorts accuse of witchcraft is brought before the court and taken to the gallows if found guilty...© James Travers
