Roper is an amiable mountain of a Ren Faire man in his lace shirt and puffy sleeves. He makes an impressive foil to the quiet, dusky-skinned, and minimally attired Lexi, who patiently and cheerfully obliges him in his ropework fun.

With the assistance of useful and informative captions, Roper patiently explains about how to select rope and what to do with it once it's been procured. He puts his pretty accomplice through her paces, adding rope handcuffs, chest harnesses, body harnesses, hog ties, and chair bondage to her slim body.

Roper makes sure to discuss the importance of safety and comfort, while demonstrating the relative ease with which impressive looking but quick and effective designs can be created. His obvious respect and affection for Lexi makes this additionally appealing, especially for newbies.

During the end credits, what Lexi calls a "sweet blooper" answers the question of what happens when chair bondage and gravity collide.
