Rachel arrives home from a day at the office, unaware that a thief is lurking in her house, searching for valuables. When he realizes Rachel is home, he grabs her and hand gags her, warning her not to scream. He pushes a stocking into her mouth and sets about tying her wrists together behind her back. He lowers Rachel to the floor and secures rope around her ankles and thighs, then fully gags her with a black cloth. He goes off to continue collecting her valuables, leaving Rachel to struggle. He returns after a few minutes, removing the cloth from her mouth and tying a pair of pantyhose around her head instead, then sets about securing her legs more tightly. To make sure she doesn't wriggle around and finally get herself outside where she might find help, he decides he should leave her in a hogtie before he departs with his ill-gotten gains.
