[PART I] Braving her father Edgar Linton's warning not to cross the estate border, young Catherine discover her charming, but sickly cousin, and the manly Hareton are the heartlessly scorned and abused son of wealthy Heatcliff on the Earnhaw estate.

After an accidental meeting with elegant gentleman Edgar Linton, she falls in love. To Hindley's delight, this drives Heathcliffe away. [PART II] Three year later, he return wealthy enough to buy the estate, a day after Kathy married Edgar. He takes revenge, which intead of satisfaction brings misery to all. After Kathy and later Edga's death, his scorn includes the next generation, which nevertheless finds each-other striving for nobler values.
