Vincent - Morgana's brother - wants that book at all costs as among the recipes there are some magic words that can make him the master of darkness. He persecutes the girl, even if she reveals to be a witch. Meanwhile Vincent captures Bob, an Elvira's friend, and accuses his niece of witchcraft. The inhabitants of the town send Elvira to the stake. Somehow, Bob frees himself and the girl who, thanks to a maternal ring on her finger, defeats Vincent with deadly rays. Now Elvira inherits his uncle's money too and leaves with Bob for Las Vegas.
