Holofernes gets horny for her, throws a big party, sends everyone but Judith out of his tent, gets stupid drunk, and passes out. Judith promptly cuts off his head, puts it into her bag, and saunters back to her village. 5/6

Rich widow Judith (who happens to be a hottie) decides to take matters into her own hands, walks with her servant to the Assyrian camp, claims she is surrendering, and offers to meet with Holofernes and tell him the best way to defeat Israel. 4/6
