"Can't you see I'm all alone, cold and wet, with no one to turn to."A small village in Ireland and Emily Beaudine (Siobahn Mckenna) is causing quite a stir. The women of the village demand that she is forced out, possibly due to the effect she seems to have on the men folk! She does indeed end up packed off to England, when she attacks a boxer from the travelling fare, when he forces himself upon her. She is dispatched to a small village in England, where she seems to have a similarly disquieting effect on all there as well, especially on Bess (Anne Crawford). Then the fair arrives in town, along with Dan, who after confronting her ends up dead in a barn.
An interesting film that flags towards the end, is never the less a sort of low budget version of Black Narcissus - all repressed sexuality, that ends up in madness and tragedy.
