In desperation, Hayate decides to kidnap a girl named Nagi Sanzenin, who he thinks is rich and can pay off his debt. However, he soon finds out that Nagi is indeed wealthy and is the sole heir to the Sanzenin fortune.

Nagi's grandfather, the head of the Sanzenin family, mistakes Hayate for a professional butler and offers him a job as Nagi's personal butler. Hayate accepts the job and moves into the Sanzenin mansion, where he begins a new life as a butler. The show follows Hayate's adventures as he tries to keep up with Nagi's demands, deals with the eccentric members of the Sanzenin family, and tries to pay off his debt.
