< A Study in Punishment 

• Emma-Louise

Continuing from Spare The Rod, we once again enter the world of severe, and perhaps sadistic Mr Meads as he continues to administer scholastic disciplines to the errant and wilful Emma Louise. The film begins with a panicky Emma Louise seated outside Meads office, nervously pondering the painful encounter that inevitably awaits her. Meads heightens the tension and the fear by making her wait, a classic psychological ploy of the stern tutor. Once inside Meads office, Emma Louise's efforts to defy the master and even lie to him fall on deaf ears as he follows the rule of school law and tried and tested remedies for the disobedient scholar. Following an over the knee spanking, Emma Louise receives a grim warning about the consequences that await her should her grades and attitude fail to improve. Amazingly Emma Louise compounds her sins by copying the work of another student leaving Meads no alternative but to administer the harshest punishments available. In various states of undress, culminating in full nudity, Emma Louise is thrashed, caned and totally humbled by the stern master using a variety of implements and methods. In the final scene we see the beleaguered schoolgirl naked, tearful and humiliated - a study in punishment indeed.
