As soon as Tituba gets to the new pastor's home she feels uneasy. Things don't go well for the Master, and he is angry with the town and angry in his home. Tituba knows she must work hard and so must her husband John. She takes care of her mistress, feeds the animals, and cleans the house. She takes care of Betsy, who is also very sickly. John cuts wood and works at the town's tavern to make money for his master.

Tituba and Abigail do not get along. Abigail is sneaky and lies. Tituba knows she must be careful around Abigail. Tituba, Betsy and Abigail meet Anne Putnam Jr. and her mother Anne Putnam. They also meet Mercy Lewis, a girl who is bound to work for the Putnam family, and Mary Warren, who is bound to work for another Salem family. Anne, Mercy and Mary become friends with Abigail and visit often. Soon these girls start making trouble. They try to make Betsy fall into having fits, and they try to get Tituba to tell them their fortunes. Tituba tries to get rid of them by making things up.

As time goes by, Abigail, Mercy, and Mary start behaving very strangely. They start telling everyone that they are being pinched. They see strange people during the night who visit them. They start falling into screaming fits. They act like animals and they speak strange words. People in Salem Village start to worry. They believe these girls are bewitched. People start wondering who has bewitched them. The girls continue to scream and faint. They try to throw themselves into the fire. They are accusing witches of pinching and harming them. They say they can't breathe. Some say the Devil has visited them.

People start to think Tituba must have something to do with all this. Tituba's vegetables are the best. Her chickens lay the most eggs, and her cows give the most milk. She weaves thread like magic, so fine and so perfect. It must be magic. She can tell the future. She must have the girls bewitched. All the girls visit her. She must be the one. Tituba is scared because she is not a witch.

The town of Salem believes the girls are bewitched by Tituba because whenever they have a fit, all Tituba has to do is touch them, and they are fine. Tituba doesn't understand why people can't see the girls are faking things. Tituba's master has turned against her. He believes she is a witch. The town holds a trial for Tituba and two other women that Abigail, Mercy and Mary accuse of bewitching them. Tituba and these two other women are sentenced as witches and Devil worshipers and sent to jail in Boston.

After many months and many more trials where other people are sent to jail, the Salem witch trials end. Some people have been hanged and others died in jail. Finally, after more than one year in jail Tituba is freed by Samuel Coklin, the Master weaver who first taught her how to weave. He has always believed Tituba to be a good woman who is not a witch. He also buys John, Tituba's husband from Reverend Parris. Tituba and John lived a full and useful life in Boston.
