A college professor and his wife (Lee Grober and Kim Kopf) seek a new start and move into a home in Salem, MA. Before long, a busybody neighbor is helping fix a water leak in the basement and finds a jeweled sword imbedded in the stone. He pries it out, and a satanic demon, who was burned at the stake over 300 years before, is unleashed.
