东征十字军贝曼和兄弟菲尔森早已厌倦战争，他们终于回到家乡。原以为家乡风景如画、乡亲和蔼可亲、庄稼硕果累累，谁料家乡残垣断壁，乡亲生无可恋，农田杂草丛生，整个村子毫无生息和人气。原来横扫整个欧洲的黑死病也祸及家乡，这场瘟疫夺走了太多人的生命却仍然没有收手的迹象。人们不得不怀疑，一定是女巫替恶魔施了地狱的诅咒。经过教堂长老一致认定，女孩安娜就是邪恶的黑女巫。安娜就是个普通女孩，她如何能承担这种罪名，她吓得瑟瑟发抖百口莫辩。主教这时下令，让贝曼将安娜遣送到修道院交由他们处理。贝曼看向安娜如受惊小鹿一般清澈无辜的眼睛，他无论如何也无法相信安娜是所谓的造成一切灾难的女巫。贝曼满心疑惑与随行牧师等人一起踏上押送女孩的征途。

Beman and his brother Filson, the crusaders of the Eastern Expedition, were tired of the war, and they finally returned to their hometown. I thought my hometown was picturesque, the folks were amiable, and the crops were fruitful. Unexpectedly, the hometown was ruined, the folks had nothing to love, the farmland was overgrown with weeds, and the whole village had no life and popularity. It turned out that the Black Death that swept across Europe also affected his hometown. This plague claimed too many lives, but there is still no sign of stopping. People have to suspect that it must be the witch who cast the curse of hell for the devil. The elders of the church unanimously determined that the girl Anna is the evil black witch. Anna was just an ordinary girl, how she could bear such a crime, she was trembling with fright, she couldn't explain it. At this time, the bishop ordered that Berman send Anna to the monastery for them to deal with. Beiman looked at Anna's clear and innocent eyes like a frightened deer, and he couldn't believe that Anna was the so-called witch who caused all the disasters. Full of doubts, Beiman embarked on the journey of escorting the girl with the accompanying priest and others.
