He confesses he had exciting nightmares about it happening to him, when their age. In short order he is tricked and ambushed and wearing schoolgirl uniform, leashed by string around 'her' balls up and out of the blouse, so her ex-schoolgirl 'boyfriend' can keep her under control. Then he is paraded round the streets with another similar 'girl' and their two 'boyfriends' before the two 'girls' are put to bed in a caravan, whilst the 'boys' take their customary places; the first stage in a planned full takeover of their lives, leads to our young man being installed in the maids quarters, to learn that trade and life that life for the rest of her days-whilst his life and property is taken by the girl who ensnared him.
