A young woman (Anne Crawford) begins to suspect that the village priest's alluring assistant (Siobhan McKenna) may be behind the deaths of a number of men.

Comfort crafted a work that, while imperfect, stands out in its singular vision and feels ahead of its time. That singularity is precisely why its rediscovery (and why reassessments and retrospectives of films overall) matters.
