"Yes, isn't it?" she said, and beetled off. "Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word: Averted, after Aunt Dahlia demands that Bertie steal the cow creamer, or be forever banned from enjoying Anatole's cooking.Bedsheet Ladder: How Gussie escapes the wrath of Sir Watkyn, who was chasing him with a riding crop after reading all the insults in Gussie's notebook.When all of the above results in various wacky misunderstandings and romantic entanglements, everyone looks to Jeeves to save the day. And then there's Jeeves, the brilliant, hyper-competent valet, who wants his master Bertie to agree to go on an around-the-world cruise.
Lurking about is Roderick Spode, a disturbingly large and ill-tempered man, friend to Sir Watkyn and an admirer of Madeline's who is deeply jealous of Gussie. Dahlia also tells Bertie to steal the silver cow creamer, and give it to her, so she can give it to Tom and butter him up so he will continue financially supporting Dahlia's magazine, Milady's Boudoir. Dahlia's husband Tom is also a collector of dinner ware and was going to buy that cow creamer before Sir Watkyn got it first. The third person sending Bertie to Totleigh Towers is his Aunt Dahlia. Harold will catch Bertie, punch him in the nose, and retrieve the cow creamer, thus winning Sir Watkyn's respect. Bertie will steal Sir Watkyn's antique silver cow-creamer, one of Sir Watkyn's most treasured possessions. Sir Watkyn is reluctant to grant permission for his niece to marry a poorly paid minister, so Stiffy comes up with a harebrained scheme. Stiffy is in love with Harold "Stinker" Pinker, an old school chum of Bertie's, who has joined the Anglican priesthood and is curate to the local village. The second person at Totleigh Towers with a mission for Bertie is Stephanie "Stiffy" Byng, niece and ward of Sir Watkyn. Bertie, who once blundered into an engagement with Madeline (in Right Ho, Jeeves) is only too eager to lend assistance, lest Madeline break up with Gussie and set her sights on Bertie again. Bertie's similarly goofy young friend Gussie Fink-Nottle, asks Bertie to come to help Gussie patch things up with Gussie's fiancee, Madeline Bassett-Sir Watkyn's daughter. Pleasant but dim-witted aristocrat Bertie Wooster has been summoned by three different people to go to Totleigh Towers, the home of Sir Watkyn Bassett. It is the third novel to feature Wodehouse's most popular protagonists, Jeeves and Wooster.
