- Hopkins is a witch hunter who finds career satisfaction touring the English countryside torturing hapless victims and putting innocent people to death in the name of purifying souls. Superstition and fear sweep the Middle Ages, Hopkins wanders from town to town proclaiming to be an official witch finder. Town leaders pay him to accuse and then execute, usually innocent, suspects. But when a brave soldier returns home to find his sweetheart on the rack, ready to burn, Hopkins realizes he may have whacked his last witch.
