Two witches in colonial Salem, the witch Jennifer and her father the warlock Daniel, are burned at the stake after being denounced by Puritan Jonathan Wooley.

Their ashes were buried beneath a tree to imprison their evil spirits. In revenge, Jennifer curses Wooley and all his male descendants, dooming them always to marry the wrong woman.

Centuries pass. Generation after generation, Wooley men marry cruel, shrewish women. Finally, in 1942, lightning splits the tree, freeing the spirits of the witch Jennifer and the warlock Daniel.

They discover Wallace Wooley, living nearby and running for governor, on the eve of marrying the spoiled Estelle Masterson, daughter of the newspaper publisher J.B. Masterson, who just so happens to be Wooley's chief political backer.

Initially, the witch Jennifer and the warlock Daniel manifest as white vertical smoky "trails," occasionally hiding in empty, or sometimes not-so-empty, bottles, some of which are of alcohol.

Jennifer persuades the warlock Daniel to conjure a human body for her with which to torment Wallace. The warlock Daniel needs fire to perform this spell, and so he burns down a building. It is the Pilgrim Hotel. This serves a dual purpose, as the witch Jennifer uses the emergency to trap Wallace into rescuing her from the burning building.

Jennifer the witch tries hard to seduce Wallace without magic. Even though he is attracted to her, he refuses to call off his marriage.

She concocts a love potion, but the scheme goes awry when a painting falls on her, knocking her out. Wallace revives her by giving her the very drink she had intended for him.

The warlock Daniel conjures himself a body. Then he and Jennifer crash the wedding, though they are at cross purposes. the warlock Daniel hates all Wooleys and tries to prevent his daughter from helping one of them. His attempts at interference land him in jail, too drunk to remember the spell to turn Wallace into a frog.

Meanwhile, the wedding bride Estelle finds the couple embracing and the wedding is called off. Outraged, Estelle's father, J.B. promises to denounce Wallace Wooley in all his newspapers. Wallace finally admits that he loves Jennifer, and they elope.

The witch Jennifer then casts a spell on all the voters and ballots using witchcraft to fix the election. Even Wallace's opponent ends up voting for Wallace, the vote is unanimous. The election's outcome convinces Wallace that his new wife is a witch. The warlock Daniel warns his daughter that revealing her true nature to a mortal is to be punished and strips his daughter of her magical powers.

In a panic, Jennifer interrupts Wallace's victory speech, imploring him to help her escape. Unfortunately, the taxi they get into to get away is driven by the warlock Daniel. He takes the taxi airborne only to crash it into the original tree from the beginning of the story.
At the stroke of midnight, Wallace is left with Jennifer's lifeless body, while two plumes of smoke watch. Before they return to the tree, Jennifer asks to watch Wallace's torment. While the warlock Daniel gloats, Jennifer reclaims her body, explaining to Wallace, "Love is stronger than witchcraft."

She quickly puts the cork into the bottle of liquor her father is hiding in, keeping him drunk and powerless.

Years later, Wallace and Jennifer have children, and the housekeeper enters to complain about their youngest daughter, who enters pretending to ride a broom, to which Jennifer comments that "We're going to have trouble with that one."
