The Accused.

A psychology teacher kills one of her students in self-defense, but conceals the crime until an astute police officer compels her to confess.

Wilma Tuttle (Young) is a college professor who arouses the sexual interest of her student Bill Perry. When Perry tries to rape Tuttle, she beats him to death with a tire iron. She covers up her crime by making it seem as though Perry was killed while diving into the sea from a precipitous cliff.
