The Hearse

In San Francisco, the schoolteacher Jane Hardy is stressed after a troubled divorce and decides to spend the summer in the house she had inherited from her aunt in Blackford. She drives to the town and, in a curve, a hearse in wrong way almost collides her car. She arrives late night and asks the lawyer, Walter Prichard, to bring the keys of the house. Soon she is haunted by nightmares and learns that the residents, including Prichard, are not friendly with her. She befriends the son of the local hardware store, Paul Gordon, who helps her to repair the house, and is visited by Reverend Winston. She discovers that her aunt belonged to a group of Satan's worshipers and was in love with a man named Robert. Further, the creepy driver of a black hearse is haunting her everywhere and one night, he throws her car off road. The well-educated local Tom Sullivan helps her and gives a ride home. Soon they fall in love with each other, but she still has nightmares and is haunted by the hearse's driver.
