the plot then flashes back 40 years. as a boy, heathcliff is found on the streets by mr. earnshaw (cecil kellaway), who brings him home to live with his two children, cathy and hindley. at first reluctant, cathy eventually welcomes heathcliff and they become very close, but hindley jealously despises him and treats him as an outcast, especially after mr. earnshaw dies. about ten years later, the now-grown heathcliff and cathy (merle oberon) have fallen in love and are meeting secretly on peniston crag (because of censorship, their relationship in the film is kept strictly platonic in spite of the fact that they do kiss, while in the novel it is implied that their relationship was romantic). hindley (hugh williams) has become dissolute and tyrannical and passionately hates heathcliff. one night, as cathy and heathcliff are out together, they hear music and realize that their neighbors, the lintons, are giving a party. cathy and heathcliff climb over their garden wall and spy at the party from under a window, but the dogs are alerted and cathy is badly bitten. heathcliff is forced to leave cathy in their care. enraged that cathy would be entranced by the lintons' glamor and wealth, he blames them for her injury and curses them.
