In 18th century England, landsman Ralph Gower discovers a corpse with fur and a skull with one eye buried in his field. He alerts the local judge but the evidence disappears. Meanwhile, Peter Edmonton brings his fiancée Rosalind to his aunt's house for their upcoming marriage. That night, Rosalind becomes insane, her hand replaced by a claw. Peter wakes up to find he has cut off his own hand. The local children, led by Angel Blake, start acting strangely and engaging in criminal behavior, all exhibiting fur on their skin. The judge returns from London and concludes that evil has possessed the children. He forms a search party to investigate.
