On the morning of her 17th birthday, high-school senior Liz Purr, the most popular girl in Reagan High, is kidnapped in her bed by three masked assailants, one of whom stuffs a jawbreaker into her mouth as a gag before she is placed in the trunk of a car. The kidnappers turn out to be Liz’s “friends” – Courtney, Marcie, and Julie – playing a cruel prank on her for her birthday, which they do annually. When the girls drive up to a diner to treat Liz to breakfast, they open the trunk and discover she is dead, having choked to death on the jawbreaker Courtney had used to gag her.
Julie wants to go to the police, but Courtney forbids her. Courtney calls the school pretending to be Liz’s mother and tells them Liz is ill and cannot attend school, then the three go to school as though nothing had happened. Fern Mayo, school outcast and fervent admirer of Liz Purr (whom she calls “The Cat’s Meow”), is sent by the school principal, Miss Sherwood, to deliver Liz’s homework at the end of the day. She stumbles upon the three girls at Liz’s house trying to arrange her body in bed. Courtney tries to fabricate a story that Liz died at the hands of a ra–st.
