Plot
Lord Loam has modern ideas about his household; he believes in treating his servants as his equals–at least sometimes. His butler Crichton still believes that members of the serving class should know their place and be happy there. But when the Loam family are shipwrecked on a desert island with the self-reliant Crichton and between-maid Tweeny, the class system is put to the test.
