Milkmaid Rhoda Brooks cannot control her jealousy of Gertrude - a beautiful woman who has just married a rich farmer.
So when Gertrude appears in her dream, she cannot help but reach out and grab the arm of the woman she wishes she was.
As Gertrude's arm begins to wither away in real life and no physician is able to help her, she must turn to a conjurer...
