The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned with a host of others.
