Hester een vrouw met goede hoop trekt naar de Nieuwe Wereld. Mooi, vastberaden en onafhankelijk als ze is, komt ze al dadelijk in botsing met de wetten van de puriteinse gemeenschap. Bij het bericht van de dood van haar man geeft Hester toe aan haar liefde voor de plaatselijke dominee Arthur. Als ze zwanger wordt, beschuldigt de gemeenschap haar van ketterij. Ze wordt verplicht een schandelijke rode letter A op haar kleding te dragen, wat staat voor overspel. Dan duikt haar doodgewaande echtgenoot weer op...Hij is uit op wraak.
Nee, helaas is The Scarlet Letter nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
