Synopsis:
In the 17th century in Salem, Hester Prynne is forced by her fellow-townsmen to wear a scarlet letter that denotes her as an adulteress. Seven years ago she gave birth to a child out of wedlock and in all those years she has not revealed her lover’s identity. Thus she is banned from society. Soon an older stranger arrives to the village and Hester recognizes him as her long ago vanished husband. Pretending to be a doctor, he tries to discover her lover’s identity.
