In the countryside of USA, Ellwyn Glover, who is the daughter of a rich farmer, accepts the proposal of the local farmer Billy Ben Turner. Her father gives a party in a barn to celebrate their engagement. His former lover Jess-Belle Stone, who also loves him, becomes jealous and looks for the local witch Granny Hart. However, she does not have money to pay for a love potion to bewitch Billy Ben. Granny Hart gives the potion to her and tells to Jess-Belle that there is a high-cost involved, but the woman does not care for the price. She immediately bewitched Billy Ben that leaves Ellwyn alone in her party. But soon Jess-Belle learns the price she has to pay for accepting the deal with the powerful witch.

"Jess-Belle" is a different episode of "The Twilight Zone", with a love story. Jess-Belle and Ellwyn Glover are both in love with Billy Ben Turner. Their main differences are that Jess-Belle has given to him what every man looks for in a woman, while Ellwyn Glover stayed pure and is daughter of a wealthy farmer. Therefore, he selects Ellwyn Glover to get married with him. Jess-Belle gives her soul to a witch to have her lover back and there is no twist in the end as usual in The Twilight Zone episodes. The plot is not pleasant, but sad in the end. My vote is seven.
