The men open the screen and the footman brings in a box and rope. The other man sits on the box and is trussed up by the footman who leaves the room. The screen doors close and the man's head appears above the top of the screen. The box is then held aloft. The doors open to reveal the man still trussed up. The doors close and the man's clothes are thrown over the top of the screen. When the screen doors open the man is still trussed up but sitting in his underwear. The doors close once more and the man walks into the frame from the right hand side. When he opens the doors the footman is trussed up. The man releases the footman.
