In 17th-century England, sadistic witch hunter Count Cumberland (Herbert Lom) rapes, tortures, and murders young women in the name of the Church. The corrupt nobleman uses these witch hunts as a means to acquire money, land, and power and to terrorize the local populace, who despise him. After witnessing the Count commit a brutal murder, Cumberland's idealistic young apprentice loses faith in his mentor and conspires to put an end to the sadist's rampage of terror.
