When Pa Kettle (Percy Kilbride) wins a trip to New York City, he and Ma (Marjorie Main) need a babysitter for their 15 kids. Fugitive "Shotgun" Mike Munger (Charles McGraw), pretending to be a poet, offers to take care of the kids if the naive Kettles will drop off a package for him in New York. As Munger attempts to control the rambunctious brood, his partner, Little Joe (Jim Backus), repeatedly tries to get Ma and Pa to give up the package, containing the loot from their most recent robbery.
Condemned warlock Joseph Curwen (Vincent Price) curses a New England village just before being burned alive. More than a century later, Curwen's kindly great-great grandson Charles Ward (also Price) arrives in town and moves into Curwen's old mansion. Caretaker Simon Orne (Lon Chaney Jr.) helps Charles and his wife Ann (Debra Paget) adjust to their new home. The ancient curse, however, takes hold of Joseph, awakening inside him a long-dormant evil passed on through blood.
