Leaving for town, a peasant comes upon a witch who puts him under her spell. Neither the jeers of his companions or the supplications of his young wife prevent him from following the witch. The villagers, pitying the wife, pursue the witch and throw her into the water. When the witch dies, the spell is broken and the husband returns to his forgiving wife. (PAT Oct 1906)
