I Married A Witch begins in colonial times just after Veronica Lake's character Jennifer has been burned at the stake for being a witch. Her father shared her fate, and their spirits are trapped in a tree that was buried on their execution site. Jennifer has put a curse on her accuser and his family. We then see a series of flash forwards showing this curse in action. Then we get to 1942 and see the latest member of the cursed family, Wallace Wooley. He is running for governor and is due to marry the daughter of his biggest backer the next day. Then during a party for the candidate, lightning strikes the tree Jennifer and her father are trapped in and they escape.


Wooley is fiercely attracted to her, but still intends to get married. Due to her failure to completely seduce him, Jennifer decides to make a love potion. Through a mishap, Wooley gets her to drink the potion instead, causing her to fall in love with Wooley. This upsets her father, but he convinces her that he will help her win Wooley's heart. Instead it turns out that he has a plan to frame Wooley for his murder. There are a few more twists and turns to the plot, that I'll leave for you to discover.
