Margaret Lee plays an innocent woman accused of witchcraft in 17th century England. Eager to have her confess, torture-master Howard Vernon (dressed in what looks like a wet suit and thigh-high boots) has the already bloodied girl stretched on a rack, where further agonies await her. Among them is a well done but too short hot-iron punishment during which a large W is branded into the victim’s considerable cleavage. Margaret suffers convincingly, but her carefully shredded clothing conceals just enough to keep this scene disappointingly tame.
