Synopsis

Blind ambition drives nascent novelist Art Chessman to ask literary agent, Lucille Belzar, for help in getting his work published. She looks him over as if he is tonight's special served in a light cream sauce and in a bizarre candle lit ceremony in her Greenwich Village home, signs him to a contract that binds him to her for life-and beyond.

It is at this juncture that a young and beautiful reporter tracks Art down for an interview. In the midst of it, his phone rings. It is the all-knowing Lucille who, sensing that Molly is every bit as ambitious as Art and equally desirable, casts her tempting net to ensnare the attractive journalist. Art is determined to save the intelligent young woman from the servitude he endures as the price of his success. But Molly, an unbelieving realist who "Wants it all," rejects Art's insistence that Lucille is dangerous.

By the time tragic events force the reporter to face the facts that Lucille is a witch, it is almost too late. Art and Molly join forces in a struggle that will end in a fierce and deadly confrontation with Lucille and her minions in the eerie setting of an abandoned nursery school.
