Young bridegroom Philip Winthrop arrives at the gloomy Usher estate to fetch his bride-to-be, Madeline . But Philip meets opposition from Madeline's brother, Roderick, who explains that his entire family line is afflicted by a curse that brings about mental illness. When Philip insists on leaving the estate with his fiancée, Roderick ominously announces that Madeline has already died -- a claim proved spurious when Philip opens her empty casket.
