Slippered!

If there was one thing guaranteed to get up Reginald Slipper's nose, it was interfering with his running of the ancient stately pile of Staddon Hall. But when it was newly inherited by a Yorkshire 'Butcher's Boy' with plans to turn the decrepit estate into a Pie factory and upmarket guest accommodation, it got so far up the old butler's nose that it penetrated his sinuses. Archibald Lappit was not his idea of the 16th Lord Melsham, and Slipper made it his business to thwart Melsham's plans whatever it took.
As it happened it took a great deal of planning following a chance encounter with a German 'masseuse' from Fat Lil's Massage Parlour, a relative of Melsham's on the run, half the Yorkshire Chinese mafia, and a motorway patrolman caught up in the middle of the ensuing mayhem.
Even if the best laid plans go awry, it is sometimes all to the good, and with all paths leading to Staddon Hall on the night of the grand Opening Banquet, the scene is set for a bawdy romp that leaves hardly any taboos untouched, quite a few stereotypes set in stone, more extreme sexual encounters than is really necessaryoh, and a clumsy Chinese gangster baked in a pie.
All's well that endswell, messily as it happens, but at least Slipper fulfils his vow not to allow Melsham's plans to prevail, and shacks up with Lady Melsham to boot in a fitting end to a farcical romp through an ancient English Stately Home.
