Spoilers ahead
As the seven sorority sisters—Kate McNeil, Vicki, Liz, Jeanie, Diane, Morgan, and Stevie—gathered to celebrate their graduation at their sorority house, the atmosphere was thick with excitement and underlying tension. Their joyful celebration was abruptly interrupted by the overbearing Mrs. Slater, who denied their request for a graduation party. Frustrated and pushed to their limits, the girls concocted a daring prank to get back at Slater: they planned to pilfer her walking cane and, under the duress of a gun, forced her to retrieve it from the pool. However, things took a tragic turn when Vicki’s shock led her to inadvertently shoot Slater in the chest. In the ensuing panic and desperation, the sisters made the shocking decision to conceal the body in the pool.
