Böse Saat (1956)
Die gerade einmal achtjährige Rhoda begeht wiederholt Morde, ohne dabei auch nur mit der Wimper zu zucken. Christine, ihre Mutter, gewinnt die Erkenntnis, dass das Kind diese fatale Neigung ererbt hat - und zwar von Christines eigener Mutter. Schließlich sieht sie zunehmend zerrüttet keinen Ausweg mehr und will sich selbst und Rhoda das Leben nehmen. Die kleine Rhoda überlebt den Tötungsversuch ihrer Mutter zwar, eine höhere Gewalt jedoch sühnt ihre Taten mittels eines Naturereignisses.
