Maid of Salem

In late-17th-century Massachusetts, a young Puritan woman (Claudette Colbert) tried to keep her flirtations with an antiroyalist Virginian (Fred MacMurray) discreet. When the community becomes inflamed by the infamous witch hunts, however, her clandestine behavior may be enough cause for a death sentence.
