Lady Turton, an art collector's wife, is conducting a series of affairs, much
to the disapproval of her resentful husband and their butler, Jelks. They have
an estate filled with art; even the outdoor gardens have fantastical pieces of
topiary and abstract sculpture. One night, while cavorting with Major Jack
Haddock and making fun of her husband's beloved artworks, she finds her head
trapped in a priceless piece of art. Sir Basil Turton asks Jelks to fetch him
a tool with which he can free her head. Jelks brings him both an axe and a
saw. After considering the problem, Sir Basil decides upon the axe.
