Zero Mostel, Buster Keaton, Phil Silvers and an all-star cast scam their way through this boisterous romp amidst gorgeous girls, mistaken identities, stunning surprises, cunning disguises and great Sondheim songs.

A young coed uses her winter vacation to research a paper on witchcraft in New England. Her professor recommends that she spend her time in a small village called Whitewood, just north of the school. He also recommends she stay at the 'Raven's Inn,' run by a Mrs. Newlis. Taking the professor up on his recommendation, she arrives in the village, at first dismissing the eerie feel of the area as small-town quirkiness. But things begin to happen in earnest when she finds herself 'marked' for sacrifice by an undead coven of witches.
