The Master of the house is away, and his wicked daughter Hannah has been left in charge. She's always hated the downstairs maid, who she believes is constantly trying to sabotage her wardrobe. She goes on a mad tirade against her- but fortunately the Butler has been left instructions for what to do should exactly this circumstance arrive. Following his orders to the letter, he and the rest of the staff wake Hannah at four in the morning and drag her below stairs, still dressed in nothing but her satin nightdress. There she is bound to a pillar and gagged with one of the bit gags from the stable - to await her full and proper punishment!
