Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Spoiled little Pamela (Pauline Challoner) is devastated when her beloved governness Mrs. Murphy (Elspeth March) is discharged and the severe Miss Cartwright (Pamela Brown) takes her place. Not only does Miss Cartwright punish Pamela for the slightest infraction, but she also goes so far as to destroy the girl's favorite toy, a stuffed tiger. A chilling revenge tops off this (allegedly) fact-based episode, one of several One Step Beyond entries filmed in England.
