Lucy Muir (Tierney), newly widowed, has had it with her domineering in-laws and decides to settle the issue by moving herself, her daughter Anna (Creator/NatalieWood), and her faithful maid Martha (Edna Best) to Whitecliff-by-the-Sea, a charming coastal village somewhere in [[TheEdwardianEra Edwardian]] England. Gull Cottage, a beautiful if slightly run-down house on top of the bluffs, is for rent, and the asking price extraordinarily cheap. The agent, however, is none too keen about the idea of someone living in the house, and it is not too long after moving in that Lucy finds out why.
