The movie takes place in the 1950s. Sabrina Masterson is a conceited and wealthy
teenager who is sent by her own mother to a sorority house, because she couldn't
handle her any more, explaining she was too evil. Upon her arrival, she is
welcomed by everyone and assigned as the roommate of Rita Summers, the sorority
president and most adored and popular girl. She soon takes an interest in her
boyfriend Mort, who owns a bar at the beach, near the sorority house, and will
soon enroll into college, hoping to become a doctor. She tries to flirt with
him, but is unamused by his disinterest. She soon starts taking it out on Rita
and her friends Tina and Ellie, often embarrassing them or making catty remarks
without directly confronting them. In spite of that, Rita still tries to
befriend her and tells her about her bad relationship with her mother,
explaining that she often too busy to talk to her. Sabrina tries to upset her
even more by saying that her relationship with her mother is very good.
It soon turns out that isn't true. Mrs. Masterson gives her a surprise visit,
expressing her disappointment in her. She tells Sabrina that she wants her to be
more like her older sister Julia, who was once the sorority president, and
terminates her allowance because of breaking a rule. Later that day, Sabrina and
Ellie overhear Tina announcing that she is pregnant of her boyfriend Jimmy, who
she secretly sees. Tina expresses her worries, considering an abortion. Sabrina
helps her out not getting caught and thereby wins their trust. The next day,
Ellie and Tina nominate her for sorority president, meaning she will be
competing against Rita. When she finds out she can only become president if her
grades for French are better, she seduces her teacher and later blackmails him.
Later that night, she blackmails Rita to give up her title as sorority
president, threatening to reveal that her mother is in jail if she doesn't. The
next day, she is upset to find out her mother doesn't share her joy of becoming
president, explaining she is too busy to attend the ceremony. She tries to find
comfort with Mort, but he doesn't hide he doesn't think highly of her. Jealous,
she reveals Rita's secret about her mother, thinking it will end his
relationship with her. However, Mort reacts madly. Sabrina later witnesses Mort
being rejected by Rita when he tries to sleep with her, and she thinks she can
profit from that information to win him back. In his bar, she seduces him into
having sex with her. At first, he rejects her, but he finally gives in.
Meanwhile, Tina went to Tijuana for an abortion, but she was too afraid to go
through with it. Not knowing what to do with her future, she bursts out in
tears.
The next morning, Sabrina reveals that she has slept with Mort. Rita refuses to
believe her, but when Mort admits to it, she is furious and slaps him. Sabrina,
hoping they can finally be in a relationship, is surprised he turns her down and
swears he will regret it. She tells Joe, who thinks he is her boyfriend, that he
raped her. The plan backfires when Mort convinces Joe that he wouldn't do that,
also assuring him that Sabrina is bad news. She next convinces Tina to tell
everyone that Mort is the father of her baby, thereby possibly assuring her
financial support. After the announcement, she is kicked out of campus, but,
after a failed suicide attempt, keeps on blackmailing Mort. Vulnerable, she
admits to him that she was pushed by Sabrina to do so. After she left, it turns
out that he recorded the conversation.
Later, Tina accepts a marriage proposal from Jimmy. Rita decides to rekindle
with Mort after she hears the audio conversation. A jealous Sabrina, realizing
she has been caught, hits Mort with a bat and beats up Rita. She locks them into
Mort's bar and sets it on fire, leaving them to burn to their deaths. They are
rescued by Jimmy, however, and Sabrina is arrested.
