Story: A religious fanatic marries a gullible widow whose young children are reluctant to tell him where their real daddy hid the $10,000 hed stolen in a robbery.

Its the Great Depression. In the process of robbing a bank of $10,000, Ben Harper kills two people. Before he is captured, he is able to convince his adolescent son John and his daughter Pearl not to tell anyone, including their mother Willa, where he hid the money, namely in Pearls favorite toy, a doll that she carries everywhere with her. Ben, who is captured, tried and convicted, is sentenced to death. But before he is executed, Ben is in the state penitentiary with a cell mate, a man by the name of Harry Powell, a self-professed man of the cloth, who is really a con man and murderer, swindling lonely women, primarily rich widows, of their money before he kills them. Harry does whatever he can, unsuccessfully, to find out the location of the $10,000 from Ben. After Bens execution, Harry decides that Willa will be his next mark, figuring that someone in the family knows where the money is hidden. Despite vowing not to remarry, Willa ends up being easy prey for Harrys outward evangelicalism; she is a pious woman who feels she needs to atone for her sins which led to Ben doing what he did, especially as Harry presents himself as the preacher who worked at the prison and provided salvation to Ben before his death. Harry quickly figures out that John and Pearl know where the money is. Conversely, John doesnt trust Harry, John who first tries not to show to Harry that he indeed does know where the money is, and then second constantly reminds a more-trusting Pearl of their promise to their now-deceased father. With Willa devoted to her new husband, John and Pearl need some other adult assistance in evading Harrys veiled threats, an adult who not only can see the honesty and goodness in children but who can also see a true wolf in sheeps clothing like Harry.

On a diabolical mission to eradicate sin, the misogynistic serial-killer preacher with the sharp switch-blade, Reverend Harry Powell, discovers the secret of the condemned bank robber, Ben Harper. With $10,000 hidden somewhere around Harpers decrepit farmhouse, silver-tongued Powell embarks on an evil quest to woo Bens poor widow, Willa, and above all, talk the deceaseds little children, John and Pearl, into letting him in on the exact location of the loot. However, as John stubbornly refuses to reveal his fathers secret, the irrepressible lust for gold starts to take over, and no one is safe around the psychopathic gospeller. And, in Powells mind, all women must suffer in the name of the Lord. Who shall live and who shall die in the night of the hunter?
