Ar noson lawog o aeaf ar droad y ganrif, mae'r teulu Gwyn yn aros am eu gwestai cinio. Mae Sarjant-Major Morris newydd ddychwelyd o ddau ddegawd fel milwr yn gwasanaethu yn India. Mae ei hen ffrind Mr. White yn awyddus i glywed straeon am ei deithiau egsotig... ond nid y straeon sydd ganddo am dirluniau tramor y mae Mr. White am i'w deulu glywed amdanynt.
Mae'r Sarjant-Major yn cario tlysau gydag ef: bawen mwnci melltigedig a gafodd dramor. Cafodd ei felltithio gan hen fakir a gall roi tri dymuniad i'r perchennog. Er eu rhybuddio i gyd o'r cwymp a ddigwyddodd i bawb a fynnai, mae'r teulu Gwyn yn ystyried cymryd eu siawns.
Ai hud ydyw? Melltith? Neu gyd-ddigwyddiad pur?

On a rainy winter's evening at the turn of the century, the White family await their dinner guest. Sergeant-Major Morris has just returned from two decades as a soldier serving in India. His old friend Mr. White is eager to hear stories of his exotic travels... but it's not the stories he holds of foreign landscapes that Mr. White wants his family to hear about.
The Sergeant-Major carries with him a trinket: a cursed monkey's paw that he acquired overseas. It was cursed by an old fakir and can grant the owner three wishes. Despite warning them all of the downfall that befell all those who wished upon it, the White family contemplate taking their chances.
Is it magic? A curse? Or pure coincidence?
