How to make stacked bar plot for Pandas DataFrame work?

I have a DataFrame, consisting of several timeseries like this:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [10, 20, 30, 40], 
                   'B': [15, 17, 16, 12],
                   'C': [33, 11, 49, 20]})
df
    A   B   C
0  10  15  33
1  20  17  11
2  30  16  49
3  40  12  20

Plotting a simple line diagram works like a charm, even with automatic legend:

df.plot()

In the documentation, if find the optional parameter stacked (boolean, default False) with the description "If True, create stacked bar plot. Only valid for DataFrame input". So I type

df.plot(stacked=True)

and receive the following TypeError message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

----> 1 df.plot(stacked=True)

Did I call the function in a wrong way or is this a bug?
