Eye for a Tooth and a Limb for an Eye

When Rhoda Buckleshott, stylish young English teacher at Sir Winston's girls' school, is unceremoniously sacked, she swears that she will not rest until she has destroyed her nemesis, the headteacher, Mrs Beddington.

Perceiving her dismissal as an act of inverted snobbery against her privileged upbringing and upper-class accent, Rhoda embarks on a campaign against Mrs. Beddington that becomes more severe and outlandish at every step. And as Rhoda's obsession spins out of control, the strain of her reign of terror takes a terrible toll on her mental state.
