Night of the Witches
A preacher wanders through Mexico seducing the young women he is supposed to be saving. He meets a man who sells offshore islands, and they go to a mansion. There, a high priestess, her servant, and her cult of witches and disciples murder people they believe are evil. The preacher learns that a fortune is hidden in the mansion, and he insists on being cut in in exchange for remaining silent. The high priestess, however, serves him the same poison brew that killed the other victims.
