Sylvia Honeywell settles with her daughter, Donna, in Salem, Mass., in 1694

He has become an outward prig, full of church morality. Secretly, he lusts
after the Widow Faith Underhill, who he induces to marry him. But there
is a catchFaith will not consummate the marriage, out of respect for her
deceased husband. This leaves one very sexually frustrated minister. His
real test comes, however, when it is revealed to him who Sylvia and Donna
are, just at the point when the town wants to burn Sylvia and Donna as witches.
