Historické drama natočené na motivy hry slavného Arthura Millera vychází ze skutečných událostí, ke kterým došlo v roce 1692 v americkém městečku Salem, obývaném komunitou puritánů. Jednoho rána se skupina dívek vydá do lesa, kde se účastní zaříkávání černošské otrokyně. Přistihne je však reverend Parris a dívky se rozutečou. Dvě z nich krátce po návratu domů upadnou do bezvědomí. Dívky to jen předstírají z obav před trestem, ale reverend se po dohodě s některými osadníky rozhodne povolat do Salemu známého lovce čarodějnic, reverenda Halea. Přestože zkušená vědma dívky probere a stejně jako rozumný farmář John Proctor, radí představeným obce, aby Halea poslali pryč. Reverend Parris však trvá na svém a brzy se městečko mění v peklo. Hale vyslýchá dívky a jedna z nich označí za iniciátorku zaříkávání Parrisovu neteř Abigail.
