The Laniers have sent bulldozers onto the old Whitlock Estate to level the land for a construction project. Morgan Whitlock (Lon Chaney, Jr.) and his daughter Amy make a futile effort to stop the bulldozers that overturn headstones and churn up graves in the Whitlock Cemetary. That night, an overturned coffin opens and Vanessa Whitlock (Yvette Rees), the witch buried centuries ago, rises from the grave.

Tracy Lanier (Jill Dixon) follows Amy into the family crypt and is astonished to see Vanessa and her witches in weird supernatural rites.
