Before The Head Mistress ends, the plot takes such a weird detour into the macabre that one is again reminded that producer DAVID F. FRIEDMAN was, after all, half of the team that gave us three of the sickest horror films of the 60’s.

A 17th century school for wealthy, big boobed young ladies is run by MARSHA JORDAN who, as the trailer says, is a "beautiful but somewhat queer woman." The curriculum seems to consist entirely of nude picnics and lesbianism. When the old gardener of the school retires, a young stud named Mario takes his place by pretending to be mute and "slightly stupid." He also majors in virgin-popping.

Miss Jordan, catching Mario with Amelia in a bathtub, orders Amelia to her room -- "I’ll teach my girls to play around with men!" -- where Amelia is promptly tied up and whipped. (Dave loves whipping.) Then Marsha hops aboard Amelia and gives her a quick course in Sappho 101.

Afterwards, Marsha tells Amelia why she "chose the twilight world" and here’s where it all gets weird. Before she came to the school, Marsha had the hots for a young man. While making out with him in a field one night, two guys cut off the young man’s head, bury it, then jump on Marsha.

In her "insane sadness," Marsha digs up her ex-lover’s skull and puts it in a flower pot near her bed: "I thought that if I could have my lover’s head near me, my heart would be happier." The skull obviously agrees because some sex-crazed vines grow from the pot which slide over and fondle Marsha. And it isn’t often one gets the chance to watch a buxom babe being molested by a plant. When the two murderers attempt to rebury the skull, the vines strangle them both, sending a shocked Marsha careening into Lesbo Land.

Based on two tales from Boccaccio’s The Decameron, there’s also a charming moment when Philomena (who sports 17th-century implants) discovers she’s "with child" and hangs herself. A short-haired blonde finds her hanging, smiles, then feels up the corpse.

It’s like reading an "adults only" version of Classics Illustrated. Marsha Jordan, of course, quickly became the Queen of Sexploitation, and churned out numerous films for Don Davis (The Golden Box) and Stephen Apostolof (College Girls).
