Anne Francis – so good in The After Hours as blonde Marsha White - returns in a black wig as fetching Jess-Belle Stone, a backwoods girl who loves handsome Billy Ben Turner (James Best). Unfortunately, Billy has found new fire with gorgeous Ellwyn Glover (Laura Devon) and Jess-Belle is left in the dust. until she seeks out the fiery community witch Granny Hart (a truly wonderful Jeanette Nolan), who puts a spell on Billy. However, if you make a pact with the dark side, you have to pay, and Jess-Belle s debt soon comes calling.
Jess-Belle Stone (Anne Francis) embodies the old saying hell hath no fury like a woman scorned in the mighty atmospheric episode Jess-Belle.
