Bishop Hatto refuses to help the starving poor who come to his door for food, despite his well-stocked granaries. Instead, he lures hundreds of hungry people into his barn and burns them alive. That night, he goes to sleep without remorse. The next morning, his picture is found with the rats having eaten it out of its frame. Fearing retaliation, the bishop flees to his fortified tower, but the rats follow and swarm the tower by the thousands to enact divine judgment on the wicked bishop by gnawing on his bones until only limbs remain.
