Tess calls her butler for an important meeting at home. She’s deeply displeased with his work and wants to call on him to get with it. However, what Tess expected to be a constructive get-together turns out to be a stressful argument with her employee, whose constant weeping puts Tess on her nerves. Given the situation, she decides to take matters into her own hands by tricking the man to have a seemingly harmless drink that’s supposed to calm him down.

By the time the butler realizes what’s truly going on it’s too late. Tess' ulterior intention was to shrink him down to a considerable tiny size so she could manage him easily on one hand while also giving him an ultimatum on the other. Now the cleaning boy has a new job at the bottom of Tess' feet. He’ll do time stuck to her foot and shoe’s soles until Tess considers he has learned the lesson.

Eventually Tess ends up forgetting about the tiny man below her foot until one day she feels a crush underneath it. He's barely useful for nothing now, so she just waves him goodbye before putting him out of his misery under her foot.
