　　故事发生在1844年的美国康涅狄格州，出生于贫困之家的米兰达（吉恩·蒂尔尼 Gene Tierney 饰）收到了表哥尼古拉斯（文森特·普莱斯 Vincent Price 饰）的来信，尼古拉斯邀请米兰达去他家，担任他的女儿凯瑟琳（康妮·马歇尔 Connie Marshall 饰）的家庭教师一职。在米兰达的心目中，尼古拉斯一家就是上流社会生活的缩影，于是她愉快的接下了这份工作，动身启程了。　　哪知道刚到宅邸没多久，米兰达就听到了有关这里的恐怖传说，不仅如此，不久之后，尼古拉斯的妻子乔安娜（薇薇安·奥斯本 Vivienne Osborne 饰）便离奇去世了。乔安娜去世当晚，尼古拉斯便向米兰达表露了爱意，吓得米兰达退避三舍。此时的她并不知道，自己早已经被卷入了一个可怕的诅咒之中。
