The Girl on the Broomstick (1971)
Who wants to have suspension for 300 years after school? Not the young witch Saxana. It's no wonder she takes the first opportunity to flee to the human world. The headteacher sends a retired vampire to look after and retrieve her. But Saxana doesn't want to go back and attempts to get an old maid's ear to create a potion that will close the way back to the fairy-tale land. But, never an attentive student, she's unaware that it is not a real "old maid's ear", but rather a plant..
