- A group of young girls were dancing and doing voodoo in the woods. To save themselves from being punished, the girls claim that they know others in the town who have signed the Devil's black book. The minister decides that he should call Reverend Hale, a witchcraft expert.
- Hale begins to place half the town on trial for witchcraft. Abigail, the oldest girl, speaks to John Proctor in hopes of rekindling their adulterous relationship; Proctor snubs her. Abigail accuses John's wife.
- In an attempt to uncover the deception of the young girls, John Proctor brings Mary Warren to testify that Abigail is lying to the court. However, the girls turn on Mary and say that she is being bewitched by Proctor. Both he and his wife are arrested.
- The accused are asked to confess. Some do so to save their lives, others refuse to preserve their names. In an attempt to bring out the truth, Proctor confesses his adultery. But when they ask his wife, she lies to protect her husband's honor. He is hanged.
- In the end, minister Parris is voted out of office. A rumor that Abigail became a prostitute in Boston circulates throughout Salem. Elizabeth Proctor remarries, and the farms of the executed go untended for years.
