"England is in civil war as the Royalists battle Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads for control. This conflict distracts people from rational thought and allows unscrupulous jmen to gain power by exploiting village superstitions. One of these men is Matthew Hopkins, who tours the land offering his services as a persecutor of witches. Aided by his sadistic accomplice John Stearne, he travels from town to town, and wrenches confessions from 'witches' in order to line his pockets. When Hopkins persecutes a priest, he incures the wrath of Richard Marshall, who is engaged to the priest's niece. Risking treason by leaving his military duties, marshall relentlessly pursues the evil Hopkins and his minion Stearne." -- Container.
