A young governess moves to the country to look after two delinquent  children and lift them out of their ignorance. In her efforts to do good, she does a lot of harm. Soon after her arrival, she sees the specters of old grounds keeper, Peter Quint, and former governess, Miss Jessel. Beginning to question her sanity and ability to help the children, the governess presses them to reveal their past relationships with the two ghosts, ultimately leading to insanity and death.
