Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In 17th century Scotland, the Earl of Culdane (Torin Thatcher) accuses a young woman named Harriet (Fintan Meyler) of being a witch after his son, the girl's sweetheart, suddenly dies. Condemned to death, Harriet places a curse on the house of Culhane, condemning the eldest sons of all future Earls to die before their fathers. Flash-forward to 1960, as the present Earl of Culhane (also Torin Thatcher) lies dying...and his son William (Donald Harron) tensely waits to find out if the curse will yet again be fulfilled.
